Cloudy or Rainy! Lake Views! (Moderate)

Join us for a ride from Gas Works Park on a 30 mile route at a moderate pace of 14- 16 mph.  That's right, you heard it! If we have rain or if it's cloudy, we are riding.

Our route will consist of trail riding on the Burke-Gilman and 520 Bridge and some city riding in Kirkland. We will have one 1.5-2 mile climb and a couple of shorter ones. This is a mentored ride (a step toward certification as a Cascade Free Group Ride Leader) for Randal Fu.

Regarding daytime usage of lights:   A flashlight headlight (like a vehicle flashing their high beams non stop) according to RCW 46.37.280 is considered illegal. The ride leader would also kindly appreciate that all front lights are slightly tilted towards the ground, so that the ride leader is not not blinded when looking in their mirror :)

Let's meet at the start and please be ready to ride at 10 am. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done. All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to stay together. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).

Restrooms are available at the start and or at the end of the ride. Other restroom stops will be 12 and 19.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. 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 in the Weather Status 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!
