LUMPS: Eastside Pie Ride (Steady)

PIE RIDE: We will ride the Sammamish RiverTrail through Marymoor Park to the North Shore Senior Center (NSSC) in Bothell, just beyond Blyth Park. The plan is to arrive at the same time as the group coming from Matthews Beach. We then take a pie, brownie or cookie break at NSSC. A variety of homemade pies with whipped or ice cream, sodas and coffee are usually available for riders to purchase at a reasonable price.  Please note: purchases may be with cash(small bills please), charge or debit cards (plastic purchases are a minimum of $1.00). We will be there for about 30 to 60 minutes, use the restrooms if needed and then return.

There are currently no COVID-19 protocols listed on their website. Vaccinations are strongly encouraged. Having a mask at hand is a good idea to be sure you can gain entrance to the facility.  For latest updates, see the North Shore Senior Center link below, and go to the "News" section.
