It’s FALL … time to start riding for pastries! Come join us in our ongoing quest to find the best pastries on the Puget Sound. This week, we will ride out of Lower Woodland Soccer Field parking lot (south of Green Lake). We will head north towards Edmonds and loop back to Mountlake Terrace via Lynnwood. This ride has sevral ups and downs, and those ups are longer than Seattle standards, but not too steep. Our bakery stop is at Chez Grand Pere Bakery in Mountlake Terrace. They will be waiting for our arrival with extra pastries!
Pace: Please note, we will ride within the posted pace on the flats with an equivalent effort up hills. If you plan to ride faster or slower, please come prepared to ride on your own so that each pace group does not have long wait times.
Regroups/Mechanicals: This will be a social ride with waits at the top of hills and all critical turns along with photo op stops along the way. We will not stop for mechanical issues. Please come prepared the necessary equipment you need to take care of flats or other problems on your own. Please print a cue sheet from the route link in the event that you get separated from the group.
Rest Stops: There are restrooms at the start. A short rest stop will be at Lynndale Park at mp 16.7. The bakery stop is at mp 25. Requirements: Please make sure to arrive at least 20 minutes before the ride start so you can get prepared to roll out at the posted time, sign a waiver, and hear the ride briefing. As is required with all Cascade rides, please ensure you wear a helmet and come prepared with gear that is comfortable and appropriate for the distance/elevation.
RSVP: Please RSVP for the ride either here or on Meetup if you have an account, so we can plan for the appropriate number of Ride Leaders. Meetup is a great place for ride discussions and sharing photos after the ride.
NOTE: Because this bakery is still an up and coming business and small, they would like to know how many hungry riders will give a visit by the day before so they can bake more.
Cancellation Policy: In the event of a weather cancellation, a notice will be posted in the comments on this page at least two hours before the ride and the ride leaders will not be at the ride start location. Start Location Notes: Bathrooms at start. We will meet in the parking space between Soccer and Baseball fields. Links:
