FRIDAY RIDERS -- Everett Homes and Gardens (Leisurely)

Let's meet at Martha Lake Airport Park. 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.

We'll make our way to Everett via the Interurban and Lowell Riverfront Trails, with some street riding.  Then more street riding in lovely neighborhoods as we roll past a variety of interesting architecture. From the sturdy and charming Donovan homes of the 1920s to grand mansions, and everything in between, there's a lot to see.  We'll stop at Legion Park for a stroll through the Everett Arboretum and Gardens, then have our picnic lunch across the street at the overlook, with views of Port Gardner Bay and many islands. 

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).

Portapotty is  available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at mile 9.  We’ll also stop for our garden walk and picnic lunch at mile 16, and restrooms are available there. 

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 snack or lunch. 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 above 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!
