FRUMPS: Byth Park-Herons-Juanita Dr-520-Redmond (Steady)

Let's meet at the Blyth 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.

Join us for a 30 mile ride from Blyth Park in Bothell.  We will check out the herons nests and hopefully see some young herons.  The first climb is Juanita Hill at mile 3.  We will stop for restrooms at Marina Park before heading south to Bellevue.  The last climb is 520 at about mile 14.  We will stop for coffee and pastries at Mile 20.  After the rest break it is an easy ride home.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will regroup at the top of hills. 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 10.4 miles.  We’ll also stop for coffee/snacks at River Trail Roasters at mile 20.

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.  Mud flaps/buddy flaps, especially if they reach to 2 to 4 inches above the pavement, are a great benefit to the rider behind you when roads are wet.

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!
