Rural/Urban Ramble from Woodinville-Edmonds via Snohomish & Everett

Join us for a ramble through the eastside countryside and urban roads of Seattle. We'll enjoy the quieter country roads as we travel from Woodinville through Snohomish traveling along the river. From there we travel to Everett where it gets urban as we roll along toward Mukilteo. We'll climb up and down Mukilteo Blvd. enjoying the lovely views of Whidbey and Camano Islands. To keep you in climbing condition, we'll venture up Mukilteo Speedway, but rest assured it will all be worth it. Just when we've had enough of climbing we turn toward Edmonds and have about a 6 mile mostly downward run into Edmonds. You can't not have fun on this stretch! We'll take a break for a late breakfast/early lunch at the Red Twig Cafe with just about 15 miles left to Woodinville. After our break, we'll have a bit of climbing out of Edmonds, but will be rewarded with the always fun descent down Perkins into Lake Forest Park as we head back to Woodinville.

We'll maintain a moderate pace of 14-16 mph on the flats without the benefit or hinderance of wind, slower on ascents, faster on descents. Climbing and descending will be at one's own pace with regroups at the top and bottom of all hills. 

Riders should bring tools and knowledge to repair flats and minor mechanicals. It's a good idea to have a back up plan in case of a major mechanical. They happen!

Start: Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start in order to prepare yourself and your bike prior to safety briefing. We'll roll out promptly at 9:00.

Riders should carry ample water and nutrition. We'll have a couple of options for restroom and snack breaks along the route toward Edmonds.

Unless the roads are dry, fenders are appreciated! This is for the comfort and safety of your fellow riders as well as your own. No fenders means you are happy to ride in the rear if it is wet on the roads.
