LUMPs Ride First Then Pie - Costume Ride (Steady)

Wear your Halloween costume and or decorated helmet and we will have some seasonal fun as we ride down the trail in costume. Don't worry if you don't have a costume, just come as you are.

Please make sure your costume doesn't have loose, flowing, or dangling pieces that could get caught in your bicycle's wheels, chain, or other moving parts, or interfere with other riders. Costumes should also allow you to see clearly and safely operate your bicycle.

Let's meet at the Wayne Park Bothell. Be there, ready to go at 10:30 AM. 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 will head out to the scenic Sammamish Valley and do a partial loop then return to the North Shore Senior Center (NSSC) in Bothell. A variety of homemade pies with whipped or ice cream are available for purchase at a reasonable price. We will be there for about 30 minutes. It's a short 1/2 mile back to Wayne Park Bothell and the cars.

Route: Enjoy this scenic ALL TRAIL bike ride along the Eastrail, Redmond Central Connector, PSE Trail and Sammamish River Trail. There is a 1.4 mile section of unpaved trail on the Eastrail which is easy to cycle on.

The terrain is flat.
