Winter in Kirkland, a Social Ride for New and Experienced Cyclists

New to Cascade or Group riding?  Want to continue riding all year?  Make this your opportunity to get on the bike and enjoy a group ride on a winter day. This is a social ride along a variety of trails and roads with experienced ride leaders to keep you riding into winter. There are some climbs, but we regroup at the top of all hills, everyone will get a workout.

We will start and finish at the Chainline Brewing Company in Kirkland, next door to the new Google Campus and on the Cross Kirkland Corridor. The route takes us down to Lake Washington Boulevard, thru downtown Kirkland, over to Bothell to pick up the Sammamish River trail to Redmond and returns via Old Redmond Road, the 520 Trail and 116th Ave NE.  After the ride join us at the Chainline Brewing Company for refreshments and more conversations about biking.

We will not have a food stop on the route but there will be a water/restroom stop along the way with time to eat whatever snacks you bring.

There are no restrooms at the start but we will stop at Houghton Beach Park at mile 1.3.

Please download the route or print the cue sheet.

All riders should come equipped to deal with their own mechanical problems and with necessary water/food. Please arrive at least 20 minutes early to get ready to ride and sign the waiver.  You may sign (register) the waiver online to avoid having to sign at start.

Showers or more severe weather will cancel the ride.  Ride cancellation will be announced in the comments section at least two hours before start time and the ride leaders will not be at the start.
