SE Whidbey Island Mod Ride @ 8:30 AM 

Ride Leader:  Rick Proctor 425-293-3153, BikeHound@comcast.net.

Register by 8 PM evening before the ride. Group size limited to 8.  

Moderate pace (14 – 16 mph).  32 miles, A/B/C terrain with ~2,700 feet of elevation gain.   

Meet at 8:15 AM for an 8:30 AM roll out at the Everett's Edgewater Park near the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal.  It's a 1 mile and 10-minute bike ride to the Mukilteo Ferry Landing via the toll booth.  Note: Mukilteo Blvd is CLOSED at the Edgewater Bridge for bridge replacement.  Drive here via Mukilteo Speedway SR 525.

We will plan on taking the 9:00 AM ferry from Mukilteo to Clinton.  Pay parking in Mukilteo is available, but we can park for free at Edgewater Park and ride bikes to the ferry.

This will be an early start for a bigger than average day on your bike with friends.  We will each buy our own ferry ticket, ride the ferry to Clinton, ride our bikes around south-east Whidbey Island, ride the ferry back to Mukilteo, then bike back to Edgewater Park.  Rest stops expected.  We will forage for lunch in Langely (~ bike mile 25.5).  Frequent regroups.  Bring enough water and snacks.

Foul weather or other awesome event cancels, check your e-mail or text for ride updates.
