Route description:
Join us this Sunday morning as we ride through some of Spokane’s favorite parks including Manito, Riverfront Park, Upper Lincoln Park, Cannon Hill, High Bridge, Centennial Trail and a one-mile coast on the Ben Burr Trail.
Pedal Assist (non-throttle) Electric and Manual bikes are welcomed but please know elevation can be a challenge climbing up South Hill.
The loop will also 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 to choose from cafes either en route or at the end of the ride.
There will be a re-group at the corner of W. 9th & S. Oak after a long climb from Latah Creek. Other re-groups will occur if needed.
We will encounter about 1/2 mile of packed-gravel when riding through High Bridge Park.
This ride offers a variety of residential and commercial urban settings, uniquely Spokane architecture and local vibes.
Be aware we may encounter joggers, families with children, dogs, other bike riders and automobile traffic. Having a bike bell and mirror is recommended.
Please note: Class two E-bikes are not allowed on the Centennial Trail.
