Edmonds - Harbor Point (Moderate)

Join us for a ride from Edmonds City Park on a trip that includes a new route north to Harbor Point that uses some new low traffic roads. We will ride at a Moderate Pace 14-16 MPH (on level ground).

Leaving Edmonds City Park we will ride south as we make our way out of the Edmonds bowl. After climbing and riding through Woodway we turn north toward Meadowdale and Harbor Point.. Our route north passes by Edmonds College and includes some familiar but also new neighborhood roads on our way to Harbor Point and back to Edmonds.  

We'll limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).   .

Let's meet at Edmonds City Park and please be ready to ride at 10:00.  (Please use the gravel parking lot on the right near the bottom of the hill).  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 regroup after hills . If maintaining the pace is difficult for a rider, the rider may have to continue the ride on their own.

This route does not have a stop for coffee or food so please bring any necessary snacks with you to enjoy during breaks or regroups.  

Restrooms and water are available at the start and at mile 21.  (If needed we can make a short detour at mile 9.2 for a restroom.  (The round trip detour is about 1/2 mile).

Be prepared with the equipment and know-how to take care of your own flats and mechanicals, and a plan for getting back to the start if your bike won't take you there. If you have a problem the group may stop briefly to make sure you will be OK on your own, but we may not wait for repairs to be completed.  Please bring navigation aids in case you need to finish on your own.

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 canceled 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!
