Cloudy Or Rainy! Cinco De Mayo! (Moderate)

Let's meet at Gas Works 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.

If it is rainy or cloudy on Cinco De Mayo we are riding. We are riding for tacos so get ready! Our route consists of trail, protected bike lanes and quiet roads.

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).

The Seattle Arboretum has a 10 mph posted speed limit, which we will follow.

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at mile 10 at the PCC Market. We’ll also stop for a 1 hour lunch break or until the final rider is finished eating at Flair Taco in South Lake Union.

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 :)

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 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!
