Woodinville to Redmond via Eastrail (Moderate)

Let's meet at the Northshore Athletic Fields. 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.

This week, we are going to have some light gravel fun. We'll follow Eastrail out of Woodinville, working our way on the 520 trail to Redmond. Eastrail is hard packed gravel, ridable on a road bike, although comfortable with a little wider tires. In Redmond, we'll stop for Coffee / Snacks at the French Bakery. Well fueled, we will head north, and tackle the climb up Hollywood Hill.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will  regroup frequently. 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’ll also stop for coffee/snacks at French Bakery at mile 15. Restrooms and water are available at the coffee stop.

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!
