Meet at McCollum Park at 9:45 for a 10:00 am start. Route is about 25 miles, with a little less than 1000 feet of elevation gain, most of that on the way back. A and B terrain, rolling hills. Interurban Trail with some street riding there and back in Everett with a few busy crossings. The area around the park is expected to be busy with traffic and cars looking for parking! Low STEADY pace (12-13 mph), with regroup as necessary. Bring food and water, and I believe there will be food to purchase at the festival too. We will arrive a little after 11:00 or so, and plan to stay at least an hour to enjoy the vendors and have some lunch and hang out. There may be a bike corral, (Sharing Wheels) but plan on either staying with your bike or bring a long LOCK with you! Rain showers will cancel this ride.

If you'd like a few more miles, park at the Martha Lake Airport and meet us at McCollum. OR if you want fewer miles, you can meet us where the Interurban connects with the Everett Mall about 10:20/10:30.
