Route description:
Join us this Sunday for a morning ride 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. Pedal Assist (non-throttle) and Manual bikes are welcomed. Please know elevation can be a challenge. There will be a re-group at the corner of W. 9th & S. Oak after a long climb from Vinegar Flats up South Hill. The loop will take us through some classic old neighborhoods with plenty of mature street trees to enjoy. On the menu is a stop at one of many available cafes en route or after the ride. Bring a layer for warmth and your lock if convenient.
Other re-groups and a photo opp may occur during the ride.

We will encounter about 1/2 mile of packed-gravel when riding through High Bridge Park.

This ride offers a variety of urban settings, local architecture and Spokane vibes.

Be advised 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.
