Rainy Day Hills #7

Here is a ride optimized for winter weather - lots of hills, and plenty of opportunities to turn back early if we get too cold or wet.    This ride will provide a great opportunity to stay in shape and to make the most of the inclement weather.

The starting location is the Kirkland Transit Center, between Peter Kirk Park and the library. There are four hours of free parking at the library. Water and a heated restroom are also available.

Our only food/water stop on this ride will be at the Kingsgate Safeway at about mile 26.

The ride has a short section on the Sammamish River Trail.  We will observe the 15 MPH speed limit while on the trail.

If you click the "Register Now" button on this page it saves you from having to sign in at the start of the ride.  Also, it gives me an idea of how many people to expect. Please register at least two hours before the start of the ride.

Please plan on arriving at least 15 minutes before the start of the ride so you can get signed in, hear the pre-ride briefing, and be ready for an on-time start.  All riders must be present for the briefing in order to participate.

Steady rain, ice, and snow cancel this ride.  If the ride is canceled due to weather, a notice will be posted in the comments 2 hours prior and the ride leader will not be at the start.  Be sure to check back on this web site for weather updates if the weather is in doubt. Please bring long fenders if the roads are wet or rain is in the forecast.
