Lowell - Monroe Loop 34/1000, moderate

Route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/11723231

This is a rural route with very few stop signs/lights. It's lovely as we can pedal without stopping, but the roads are narrow, therefore we have to ride single file!!

We will ride along the Snohomish River, stop briefly at the public restrooms (MP6) in Snohomish, continue to Monroe, cross the Skykomish River, see land that was recently flooded at Crescent Lake, climb High Bridge Road and finish with view of the Snohomish Valley, Mt Baker and the Cascades.

Cue-sheets are not provided; please print your copy.

Stats: 34 miles, 1000ft elevation, most elevation is gained between MP 18-27

Brief Rest stop: MP 6 Snohomish Public Restrooms

Ride Leader: 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; I want us 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. 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/snow or unsafe conditions cancels the ride. If the ride is canceled, it will be posted by 7:00 am in the comment section. In that case the ride leader will not be at the start.
