**CANCELLED** Winter Training Series #3: Camano Island Loop Redux (Self-Paced)

This ride was originally scheduled to be held on Saturday, January 20th  It was cancelled due to black ice on the roadways.  We are hoping for better conditions this time around. 

Directions to Start: To get to Stanwood, take I-5 north. Take Exit 212 to Hwy 532 west (towards Stanwood and Camano Island). Go approximately 5 miles. Take a right at 92nd Ave NW at stoplight then left into large parking lot. Starbucks is on your left.

The ride starts and ends at the Stanwood Starbucks. This is a beautiful, low-traffic, and rolling counter-clockwise loop around Camano Island, including a dip down to Camano Island Park (hopefully the reastrooms will be open). Be sure to bring some extra water and food as services on the island are limited, but there is a Starbucks awaiting our return. (The Elger Bay Food Mart & Cafe is at mile 21.3)

Generally all the Winter Training Series rides start at 9:00 AM except the last one. Please be at the start early enough to have your registration confirmed, pump up your tires, adjust your fenders, and put all your warm clothes on. Sign-in starts at 8:30 AM, mandatory ride & safety announcements are at 9:00 AM, and we start riding when that is completed.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

Though there will usually be a number of ride leaders on the course, these are self-paced and self-guided rides with friendly encouragement and lots of camaraderie. THERE ARE NO REGROUPS IN THIS SERIES. For more general information, please follow the link Introduction to WTS.

VERY IMPORTANT: If you want a cue sheet, please go to the Route Map link and print one out for yourself.  There won't be any available at the start.

All rides are rain or shine. We might shorten a route for really foul weather, but the only outright cancellation will be for snow or ice.  We may delay the start if we believe that the conditions will be safer a bit later in the day.  CHECK THIS WEBPAGE BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOME.

Registration is required. There will be no sign-in at the ride start.  You must be registered by no later than 5:00AM on the day of the of the ride.  If you already have a Cascade account make sure you are logged in and click the green Register button and follow the prompts. If you can't make the ride, please remember to un-register. If you don’t have a Cascade account, setting one up only takes a couple of minutes and it's free.  Make sure you are registered by 5:00 AM the day of the ride.  Registrations after that will not be accepted and you will not be allowed to participate.

We hope you can join us!
