Ride Leader: Paul Heydron, + 1 425 344 1543, paulh.wa@comcast.net

Meet at 9:45 AM for a 10:00 AM roll out at the South Mount Vernon Park and Ride.

We will ride a clockwise loop south from the park and ride to Conway then along the Fir Island dike on our way to La Conner for a bathroom (and scone!) break.  From there we will ride across the Swinomish Channel and through the Swinomish Reservation before heading back to Mount Vernon.  The second bathroom stop will be at the twin bridges boat launch coming back over the Swinomish Channel bridge.

Expect a moderate pace ride with mostly A terrain plus two B terrain hills.  Total ride distance is planned for ~44 miles.  Ride with GPS route is https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39023909

There isn't a bike shop close, so bring the basics listed under Joining Us For a Ride along with water and snacks.

Please register before 8:00PM the evening before the ride.  Group size is limited to 8.

Bathroom options at the start of the ride are iffy.  Sometimes there is a Honey Bucket, sometimes not.
