Christmas Parade of Lights & Ugly Sweaters

It's that time of year to spread quirky Christmas cheer! This ride will be the chance to show off your ugly Christmas sweaters (that you personally really dig) and add so many lights to your bike that it should be parked at the Griswold 's. Or perhaps you want to wear your Grinch or Santa costume or jingle bells that you've been secretly modeling and waiting 12 months to show-off? Come one, come all, this ride is about hilarious fun!! If you just want to join the fun without costume, no worries, you can ride along and laugh at us all! We will conclude the ride with come Christmas cheer and treats at Big E Ales located near the ride start/finish. (You may want to park there before the ride and pedal the short distance to the start.)

We meet at the Lynnwood Transit Center, in the SE corner by the Interurban Trail. If it's your first time at Lynnwood TC, there is a second area SE of the bus area. Please check the map above for exact location.

Riders should also know how to read a cue sheet and/or have the route on a GPS device, have items needed to change a flat, and fenders if chance of rain. Please print a cue sheet as they will not be available at the ride start. We will not be stopping to wait for mechanical failures so having a cue sheet is strongly recommended.

Notes:

• Riders must be ready 15 minutes prior to start to participate in the required S.M.A.R.T. talk.
• There is a water fountain at ride start, and a single restroom open during the week, but it is often occupied. If you do need it, be sure to arrive with extra time to wait for it to be vacant.
• Rear lights are recommended.
• Mirrors are recommended. Would you drive your car without mirrors?
• Fenders requested if raining.
