Gig Harbor Hills for Beginners (Leisurely)

Let's meet at the Kimball Park and Ride. 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.

"For beginners" refers to being willing to adjust pace and route to the abilities of the riders. It is a challenging route, but the goal is for everybody to finish with a sense of accomplishment.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will stay together.  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 a Port-a-potty at mile 6.5 in the Sehmel Homestead Park. 

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Other things to bring: phone; ID; cash and/or credit 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 will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.

We hope you can join us!
