This ride will start and end at Donovan Park, at the intersection of Parson Creek Rd. and Friday Creek Rd. The ride will go North to Bellingham along Lake Whatcom to Whatcom Falls Park. We'll then take the rail-trail and lettered streets to the waterfront. From there we'll loop through Fairhaven on the South Bay Trail and return utilizing the Interurban Trail to reconnect with the Old Samish Highway. The total ride is about 39 miles, with about 1850 feet of climbing. We'll take most of the middle of the day to do it, averaging between 9 and 14 mph. I expect the ride to last about 4.5 hours. There are many facilities along the route, as well as an outhouse at the beginning and end. Be prepared to ride on hard packed rail-trail, and city streets with car traffic for portions of the route. We'll ride together. Dress for cold weather. Stops will be by consensus.
