Hey Riders,
This Tuesday, 10:00AM, feel free to meet up at the gravel parking lot east of Fir-Island Conway Lutheran Church, 20975 Skagit City Rd, Mount Vernon, WA 98273. There is no restaurant, no bathroom, not even a sani-can on site so take that into account before arriving.
Our route can be seen and downloaded here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/53381338
A link to a printable map can be found attached below.
This route has been designed by Wally of Cascade Bicycle Club, he rides up here often.
The hills won’t bother you, believe me. The wet, warm, windy weather? So many times we can slip in a 2 hour bike ride without too much discomfort being involved. Usually it sounds worse than it really ends up being.
Our post ride meal can not be at the Conway Pub because they are still closed on Tuesday. That leaves all the other establishments that are nearby, take your pick, bring lunch money.
I’m going to have to skip this ride as I’ll be in court. My daughter Leizel’s divorce finally has a court date and it’s December 9-11, 2025. There has been a lot of preparation for this court date and I just can’t miss it. We’ll ride together next week, though. There is just one favor I ask of you: Please make sure the Big Guy gets something to eat.
Have a nice ride. I’ll be thinking of all of you enjoying the freedom of the road and the many birds you’ll likely see.
