Fun Pedal: Tacoma to Steilacoom (Moderate)

Let's meet at the Tacoma War Memorial Park. Be there, ready to go at the time listed above. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

The route takes us through Tacoma's North End, Lakewood, Steilacoom, and University Place. Expect fall's burnt foliage as we wind through some lovely neighborhoods and take in views of Ketron, Anderson, and McNeil Islands.  

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will regroup frequently. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH, occasionally 10 MPH).

Restrooms are not available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water as needed at miles 3.2, 21, and 26. 

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Other things to bring: phone; ID; cash and/or credit card; ORCA card; water and a small snack. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will cancel the ride and all registered riders will be sent a notification email. If the ride is cancelled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.

We hope you can join us!
