Ride Around Snohomish County

Route: This route was originally scheduled for Saturday and is going to be scheduled for next Saturday.  It has views of the Puget Sound in Mukiteo, views of the Cascade mountains in Everett, and distance views of the Snohomish Valley. But before thinking you are in paradise, it takes us back through suburbia and back to the Park & Ride. Route and cuesheet: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5029725 (route is finalized).

Stats: 36.9 miles, 2207ft elevation, some hills

Restrooms: MP 16.2 Forest Park (behind the recreation office)

Ride leaders: Lee Gustafson (425-743-3574)  ruthgus@hotmail.com

Expectations (important, please read!): Arrive at least 20 minutes before the start of the ride to 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 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/snow 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 leader(s) will not be at the start.
