North End Turkey Day Ride (Steady /Moderate/Brisk)

Let's get a little exercise before we dive into turkey or not (vegans, vegetarians). Be thankful for our wonderful scenery and our ability to bike in this beautiful region.

We do ride hills...so please pay attention to this week's elevation. You likely should have some hill experience to ride this.

When & Where: We will be rolling promptly at 9:30 am, but please arrive with enough time to get ready to ride, sign the waiver and listen attentively to the safety speech before then. We'll be meeting at the SE corner of the Lynnwood Transit Center, next to the Interurban Trail. If it's your first time at Lynnwood TC, there is a second area SE of the bus area. Please check the map above for exact location.

No restroom at the start, so plan accordingly. Restroom stop at about mile 12.

Riders should be able to sustain a pace (12-14mph for Steady, 14-16mph for Moderate, and 16-18mph for Brisk) on flats. We will be riding on a mix of quiet neighborhood roads, and busy multiple lane roads, so if you have limited experience riding with traffic, be sure to let the ride leader know. Please always bring proper equipment to fix your own flats and wear a helmet. We do hills, so please come with some hill climbing experience.

You must have experience fixing a flat and have the proper equipment with you.

Route - check back 2 days before the ride for any chanages to the route. Please sign up on meetup so we know the numbers of riders to be expected.

Cancellation for weather will be posted on Cascade site and on Meetup before the ride. As this is winter weather time, please come properly dressed in layers. Steady rain cancels.
