Welcome ! This is an "Amigos" ride from the Marysville Cedar and Grove Park and Ride. This is Bill's Favorite fun social ride in Marysville, showcasing the rural farmlands and valley just north of Marysville. Because we consider this to be a flat ride, we added a little bit more mileage.
The Saturday Morning Social ride refers to a friendly riding style where we stay together as a group and encourage each other on the road at all times. Each rider will climb and descend at their own pace and we will regroup as needed to stay together.
Having Fun : All riders are responsible to promote a great experience by having a positive attitude and prepared to enjoy the beauty of our surroundings. We ride for fun!
Start Time & Location: We will meet in Marysville Cedar and Grove Park and Ride. Please be there, ready to ride, at the posted start time above. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done. All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.
Parking : There is adequate and free parking at the start.
Restrooms: Restrooms are available at Ebey Waterfront Park (mile 1.1) and Lake Goodwin Community Park (mile 26.9). There are no restrooms or water at the start location.
Pace: The "Amigos" ride is a social moderate pace (14-16 mph on the flats.) When on multi-use trails we will observe the trail speed limit. Climb and descend hills at your own pace, and we will regroup at the bottom of the hill or at the top.
Navigation: The planned route sheet is at the link labeled Route Map. Please, bring navigation aids in case you need to finish on your own, as the ride becomes self-led for those who choose to ride ahead of or behind the group.
Weather Cancelation: Steady rain, an AQI over 75 or other unsafe conditions cancels the ride.
Cancelation Process: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will cancel the ride and all registered riders will be sent a notification email. If the ride is canceled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.
Fenders: Please be considerate of other riders' comfort and safety by using full fenders with long, stable mud flaps (ideally 2" and a maximum of 4" from the ground) if rain is possible or the roads are wet. You may still ride without such long fenders and flaps, but if it's wet you will need to ride at the back of the group (behind all bikes with better fenders.)
Repairs: Be prepared with the equipment and know-how to take care of your own flats and minor mechanicals, and a plan to get back to the start (ORCA card or someone to call.) If you have a flat/mechanical the group will stop briefly to make sure you are OK. Keep in mind, the group will not wait indefinitely for repairs to be completed and will continue riding after a 15-minute stop.
We hope you can join us!
