Quilcene Leland Lake Ride (Steady)

Let's meet at the HJ Carroll County Park. Be there, ready to go at 10am. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

Come ride the rolling hills of Jefferson County. We will start up in Chimacum at the park where there's plenty of parking and restrooms. We'll head south on Center road with beautiful wide shoulders. We cross under the highway and enjoy Dabob Road and Center road into with a long descent into Quilcene for coffee and snack. We can sit outside at the espresso stand or go to the restaurant in town. We will continue on up Hwy 101 to Leland Lake road which winds along and comes to the lake where we will enjoy our picnic lunch. Bathrooms are here too. After lunch we head back along the rolling farmlands of West Valley Road. It's a beautiful ride and it looks like it will be a cool and maybe wet fall day!

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).

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at miles 17.3, and mile 23. (OPTIONAL) We’ll also stop for coffee/snacks at the espresso stand at mile 17.3 and lunch at Leland Lake Park at mile 23.

A working white headlight and red rear tail light (steady mode preferred) are recommended for visibility during the day.

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!
