Let’s meet in Edison, we can park near the elementary school, 48.561964, -122.439689 There might be sufficient stalls for the riders that show up. If the weather is forcing people out of their homes, demanding that they ride their bikes, we might need to be creative (and respectful) with our vehicles and where we park them. If we overflow the school parking we might be able to use Smash Burger’s lot. I’m thinking they have been closed lately.
Our route goes onto Chuckanut Drive then onto the Interurban. Coming back we can use Chuckanut all the way, or return via Interurban, the same way we came.
Here is the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/51379938
There is a link at the bottom of this email, print a paper map from it if you wish.
Chuckanut is narrow in places, let’s keep a real straight line. Please no weaving. Save all your snake like moves for the Interurban. Straight line, be consistent.
Eating after our ride can be anywhere you like. We haven’t patronized The Edison Inn lately, that might be a good spot.
