Monroe - Lake Roesiger - Lake Bosworth; a lovely rural route (moderate)

Our meeting point (read!!!): We will meet near the bathrooms and playground. Note: Google takes you to the vicinity of the park, but then look for the intersection/traffic light of Wales St SE and Fryelands Blvd.

Route: Snohomish County has such diverse landscape. Unless you park your car in gravel somewhere, it's hard to imagine a route more rural than this. We will enjoy lots of green trees, lakes, some funky art, barns, a bull with majestic horns, shade and just a handful of stoplights! Consequently you have to bring two water bottles and snacks to keep you fueled for the ride!!

Route and cuesheet: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/9145711 (cue sheets are not provided at the start)

Stats: 46.8 miles, 2817ft elevation, rolling hills - but lots of them.

Stops: MP 22.6 Lake Roesiger Store. Please be appreciative of the services this store provides in the middle of nowhere; no restroom without purchase, or pay $1. MP 30.1 optional reststop at Flowing Lake Park

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 at all times. Riders should be able to maintain the posted pace. We regroup occasionally. 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 (although cell service is not dependable in this area). 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!
