Eastside Tours -- Burrito Night! (Brisk)

Burrito Night: The first ride of each month we head to Chipotle for dinner after the ride is over. 

We meet at the East Lake Sammamish trail parking lot off of NE 70th in Redmond, just east of Whole Foods. Please be ready to ride at 6:20 PM. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate. We are meeting at the south end of the lot as there is generally more parking there. 

Welcome to the 27th year of Eastside Tours. 

My goal is for everybody who rides with us to have a safe and enjoyable ride. Eastside Tours is a bit different than many other daily rides.

• Every ride is artisanally crafted from the best roads the Eastside has to offer. Every night is different. We range from Bothell in the north to North Renton in the South, from Medina out to Ames Lake and the Sammamish Plateau. Winter rides tend to be more on the west side, summer rides more on the east side. The only one who knows the route is the ride leader, and he isn't telling.
• We are mellow on the flats; I do my best to keep us in the posted speed range, and we stay together as a group except on climbs.
• We like hills. Expect 1500' or so on an average ride. All hills are ridden at your own pace, regroup at the top. A hill like Sahalee or Louis Thompson are typical of the hills we ride.
• We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH). 

If you are wondering if this ride is for you, look at the sample rides on the website, or contact the ride leader.

If the weather is marginal, the ride leader will make a go/no-go decision at or before 4:20 PM. Cancellations will be done online. If the ride is canceled, all registered riders will be sent a notification email. If the ride is canceled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.
