Cycle the Gap#4 - Magnusen to Mukilteo (was Lake Loop) 50 mi, 2,700' (3 Paces)

Cycle the Gap (formerly known as CTS Rides Again) is a series of 4 Sunday rides beginning July 17, (following the conclusion of 2016 Cascade Training Series (CTS)) to help riders prepare for the RSVP, RAW, and other challenging rides. We have chosen four of the best rides from the CTS series to ride again. We will have three different paces (Yellow/Steady, 12-14 mph on flats; Green/Moderate, 14-16 mph on flats; Blue/Brisk, 16-18 mph on the flats). These are part of the club’s Free Daily Rides program and are open to everyone. Join us for one or two rides, or be a real trooper and ride all four. You decide what works for you. We will try to have two or three ride leaders per pace so it is very important that you RSVP on MEETUP at least 24 hours prior to each ride and register on the Club page (www.cascade.org) at least 24 hours in advance. This will allow us to secure additional ride leaders if a large number of riders wish to ride at a particular pace, and also allow you to get updates if there is a possible cancellation and for group communications.

Today's route is: Magnuson - Mukilteo 50 miles 2,700' Ride With GPS Link: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/15571656 (with Gelato Option)

Here is the same cue sheet information with a little different formatting for the ride on Sunday 07 Aug 2016 - http://files.meetup.com/3386582/Cycle_the_Gap_4_Magnuson_-_Mukilto_Replacing_Lake_Loop.pdf

This Sunday's ride starts at the Cascade clubhouse and takes us north towards Mukilteo (we don't actually go there though). We will ride around Paine field in Everett and then head back down to Edmonds where we will have an optional rest stop in town for gelato before climbing back up the hill toward town. There are two planned rest stops; at mile 18 and mile 36.

As is customary for all Cascade rides, you must wear a helmet, and have necessary gear and knowledge to fix any flats you might get along the way. The group will not stop to repair flats or mechanicals, but our sweeps will ensure you have a cue sheet to continue the ride. These rides are not supported. There will be short rest stops along the route, but come prepared with your own food and beverages. Please email the Series Directors with any questions/concerns.
Please arrive 20 minutes early to hear the safety briefing, sign the waiver and to ensure you are ready to ride on time.
