Ride Description:
Invitation: Come and join us for an evening ride every Wednesday from mid April though August. The routes are about 25-28 miles and check out pretty places and views throughout Everett, Mill Creek, Lynnwood, Snohomish Valley, Mukilteo and Edmonds. They are both urban and rural in character. Paces are offered as ride leaders are available.

Directions to the start: Take exit #186 from I-5. Head east 2.6 miles. Turn left onto 39th Ave SE. At the end of the road is the Archbishop Thomas Murphy High School. We meet in the parking lot near the gate.

Route: This is a lovely ride through many neighborhoods.

Ride Leaders today: Steady: Larry DeBardi, Michael Cunanan, Moderate: Dorothé Reijnders, Alicia Murai

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 or other unsafe conditions cancels the ride. If the ride is canceled by 4:00 pm, it will be posted in the comment section. In that case the ride leader(s) will not be at the start.

Your RSVP on Meetup is much appreciated.
