A rural route for us today! It goes down into the Snohomish Valley (don't miss the views of the Cascade Mountains) and climbs out on 164th Street. The 164th Street hill is conquered at your own pace. We will regroup on the other side of Hwy 9. Then the route goes through Silver Firs to take us back to the start.

Stats: 25.8 miles, 1353 ft elevation - on this route there are hills.

Paces offered today: Steady with Larry DeBardi and Michael Cunanan, Moderate with Alicia Murai and Dorothé Reijnders

Expectations (important, please read!): Arrive at least 20 minutes before the start of the ride to sign the waiver and be part of the safety briefing. S.M.A.R.T. riding is the standard and all riders are held accountable for doing their best to adhere to these; we want to be awesome representatives of the bike community in Snohomish County and be safe! Front and rear lights are highly recommended! Riders should be able to maintain the posted pace. We regroup occasionally. There is no scheduled rest stop. Riders have to be independent when they have a flat and/or mechanical. Please print a cue sheet in case you get separated from the group and bring a charged cellphone if possible. All riders are responsible to promote a great experience by having a positive attitude, having fenders when the roads are wet or rain is in the forecast, enjoying the beauty we are surrounded by and just by having fun! Steady rain or other unsafe conditions cancels the ride. If the ride is canceled by 4:00 pm, it will be posted in the comment section. In that case the ride leader(s) will not be at the start.
