Let's Do Lunch - Woodinville-Edmonds

Let's head to Edmonds for a lunch (or late breakfast?) at the Red Twig Cafe at about the 20 mile mark. Their service is quick so the stop won't be too long. This fun route from Wilmot Gateway Park in Woodinville includes a bit of hill climbing (nothing too tough) and a couple of rewarding descents on a variety of urban roads. We'll also have a bit of trail riding on the Sammamish River, Burke-Gilman, and Interurban trails.

We'll maintain a moderate pace (14-16 mph) on the flats w/o the benefit or hinderance of wind, slower on the uphills, faster on the downhills. This is a stay together ride, regrouping as necessary at the top of hills so you can climb at your own pace.

Riders should bring tools and knowledge to repair flats. Please have a backup plan for any mechanical that may occur. It can happen! For the comfort of fellow riders and yourself fenders are a must this time of year unless it is bone dry on the roads.

Please plan to arrive about 20 minutes early in order to prepare yourself and your bike prior to safety briefing. Ride starts at 9:30.

We'll meet across from Wilmot Gateway Park at the Woodinville Sports Fields parking at the south end of the fields as there is a time limit on parking at Wilmot. Public restrooms are available at the start.
