Whidbey Island Loop (Brisk)

Let's meet at Japanese Gulch Dog Park, in Mukilteo, WA. 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.

Spring is here! Soon it will be summer. Time to start getting those training miles in for your Big Ride. Join me on the journey! This route is challenging. Be prepared for a long day. If you need to be somewhere at a specific time after this ride, then this ride is not for you. We will pace ourselves with the goal to finish. Good fueling is a must. There will be two longer stops to do so, more if needed.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will re-group frequently, generally at the top of the climbs. 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. There is one porta potty. We will have several stops available along the way for restrooms/water at miles 35, 53, 62, 85, 101, and 120, as needed. We’ll also have a stop for rest, food, water, and bathrooms, at miles 35 and 85.

If you have any questions about parking at the start or about the taking the ferry at the end of the ride, please contact the ride leader (contact information above). 

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!
