Scheduled for Friday, Feb. 3, 2012

CBC Posting:
This is a FRUMPS ride.
Meet at: Log Boom Park, Kenmore at 10:00 a.m.
Distance: 33 miles; Pace: moderate; Regroup: frequent; Some hills.
ICE/SNOW ALSO CANCEL. We start at Lake Washington and ride to Lake Ballinger, and then around Serene, Stickney and Martha. The route goes thru suburban streets and crosses/briefly goes on some larger highways -- safe group riding practices will be emphasized. The hills are not excessively steep, but there are a lot of them. Lunch is at mile 20 near Martha Lake. The last 10 miles is almost all downhill or flat. Not suitable for young children. Please arrive early enough to sign in. Call leader on his cell after 7am if unsure of weather.

Please arrive early enough to get your bike ready and sign the waiver. There is a restroom in the park. The ride is free, membership is not required and there is no advanced sign up. However, a helmet is required and the willingness to follow the directions of the leader and to practice safe group-riding behavior. Please go to www.cascade.org for more info about the club, the leader, rides and events. If unsure if this ride is suitable for you, please contact the leader before the ride.

Additional information:

If there are 5 or fewer people, it will be more of a stay-together ride; if more, we'll may spread out a bit and have a sweep if a CBC leader shows up. Consequently, pausing at the top of hills will depend upon the type of ride this is (stay-together / frequent-regroup). Time will be allotted to walk the paths to Serene and Stickney and we'll take a pause to reflect upon Lake Martha.

A turn-by-turn cue sheet with notes will be provided. Also see: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/902377
