Details

CANCELLED !!!!!!!!!!

Invitation: Come and check out the the beauty of Snohomish County this fall; we will cover pretty much every corner! Routes start around 35 miles at the beginning of each month and increase to about 50 at the end of each month.

THANKS: This is the last ride of the Saturday Morning Rides in Snohomish County series this year. The rain and snow bugged us, but thanks to many faithful ride leaders and a whole bunch of great riders, it was fun when we got together - and we even added the Vigorous pace mid series!

Today's Route:

Today we will meander through Mill Creek and then head south. Dare I say we even dip into King County! Paradise Lake Rd, some good climbing (adjusted for the steady pace), rest stop at a Safeway and then north over very rural roads. By all means pay attention to the road, but don't miss out on views of the Cascades, rivers, and birds!

Steady Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/18178357 (32 miles and about 1900 ft elevation according to RWGPS, but it might be more - on the route listed below it seemed to be of by 400 ft)

Moderate, Brisk, Vigorous Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/18178356 38.7 miles and about 2800 ft elevation (RWGPS lists 2360 but on our pre-ride we all had at least 2800 ft)

Cue-sheets are not provided; please print your copy. Long fenders are mandatory if the roads are wet or there is rain in the forecast (please!!).

Paces: Steady (12-14 mi/h), Moderate (14-16 mi/h), Brisk (16-18 mi/h) and Vigorous (18-20 mi/h). If you are new to the Free Group Rides, please read an introductions here: https://www.cascade.org/welcome-newcomers

Registration: Your registration on the Cascade.org website is appreciated: https://www.cascade.org/node/39668

You don't need to be a member of the club to create an account. If you have any questions about this process, just contact the series director.

Expectations (important, please read!): Arrive at least 20 minutes before the start of the ride to check off your name or 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. 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 long 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, it will be posted by 7:00 am in the comment section. In that case the ride leaders will not be at the start.

Series director: Dorothé Reijnders, dorothe.nl@gmail.com

We encourage riders to become ride leaders! If you have questions, please ask. For those who have done the class and are interested in doing a mentored ride, please contact Dorothé Reijnders for a great opportunity this week!
