Sunday in the Parks

Meeting Location/Address: Manito Park, Upper Manito Playground, E 25th & S Tekoa St

Start Time 8:15 AM, rollout 8:30 AM

Distance 17-mile loop, elevation gain 1,030 Feet

Pace 10-14 MPH on flats

Route description:
Come spend a Sunday morning riding through some of Spokane’s favorite parks including Manito, Riverfront, Lincoln Park, Cannon Hill, High Bridge, Centennial Trail and a one-mile coast on the Ben Burr Trail. E-Bikes and Manual bikes are welcomed but elevation can be tough climbing around South Hill. The loop will take us through some classic old neighborhoods with plenty of shaded streets to help keep us cool. On the menu is a stop at one of many downtown cafes en route.
There will be a re-group at 12th and Oak after a long climb from Vinegar Flats. This ride was designed for its scenery, variety and occasional relief from the summer sun.

We will encounter about one-half mile of gravel when riding High Bridge Park.

It’s the Journey
Riding at a slower pace allows better negotiation around neighborhood potholes, tree root bumps, and trolley-rails while viewing classic residential architecture.

Due to a Sunday morning possibly being busy on the Centennial Trail, having a bike bell and mirror is recommended.

Please note: Class two E-bikes are not allowed on the Centennial Trail.
