Mountain Bike the trails at Big Finn and Saint Edwards Park in Kirkland (Moderate)

Mountain Bike Dirt Ride

Join us for a challenging ride on dirt trails!

This is a Moderate-pace ride (14–16 MPH), but the little punchy hills will make it feel considerably harder. Bikes must have tires and gearing suitable for riding safely on dirt trails. Please have a white front light and red rear light. 

The route focuses on the hilly and slightly technical trails through Big Finn and Saint Edwards Parks. Expect a variety of surfaces, including:

• Plenty of Punchy Hill Climbs

• Rooty twisty Single Track

• Optional Features 

Meeting Point

We'll meet at the Henry David Thoreau Elementary School 8224 NE 138th Street in Kirkland. The school is near Big Finn Park.

Please arrive ready to ride at the scheduled start time. We'll begin with a required safety briefing and roll out once it's complete. All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

Ride Pace & Regroups

We'll regroup at:

• Intersections

• The tops of hills

On multi-use paths, we'll keep our speed at the legal maximum—typically 15 MPH, and occasionally 10 MPH where required.

Restrooms & Water

• Start: Water and restrooms are available nearby.

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. 

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!
