Arlington-Bellingham (Vigorous)

Let's meet at Haller Park, in Arlington. 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 more about a long spin through country roads. It has some good climbs, some long flat sections, and the beauty of Chuckanut Drive. 

Being a relatively low elevation route, I am posting the pace to be Vigorous. Overall, I expect this to be a low Vigorous pace.  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 available at the start. We will have three stops along the way for food, restrooms, and water at miles 24, 59, and 93. Additional bathroom stops are available at miles 44 and 80, if needed.

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!
