Sumner To Lake Tapps Tour (Moderate)

Let's meet at the Foothills Trailhead near Farm12 in Sumner. 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.

After a steady climb on the Foothills trail, we’ll tour through Buckley and tackle some fun rolling hills in Lake Tapps!  We’ll experience scenic views of the lake, just before the reward of some steep decline back into Sumner.

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

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at miles 7.5, 15, 20, 29, and 34.8.  We’ll also stop for coffee/snacks at Wally’s Diner at mile 20.

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!
