Sunday September 15- Silver Lake – Medium

There’s been no day rides in the US this year! Let’s remedy that. 

The bridge is still there, as are the pastoral backroads and farms of Washington State. A shorter version, this ride is 82km in keeping with the shorter days.  Make sure you bring your passport/Nexus card, a bike in good repair, some tools/spares that you know how to use, US dollars/credit card, health insurance, and enough snacks/water. There is climbing, but easy grades or short, steep spurts. There are nail-biting sections with heavy traffic and minimal shoulder. Pace will be in the low to mid 20kms/hr. It’s been a while since I last did this ride, so expect wayfinding issues.  If the group wants, we could have lunch at North Fork Brewery, otherwise there’s stores along the way.  This ride is open to VBC members in good standing-if your membership is out of date, bring money and signed waiver to the start of the ride. Ride is weather-dependent. Keep an eye on the website the night before for a cancellation. If you don’t see one, consider the ride a go.

If you can take others in a carpool or need a ride, please let Teresa know in your RSVP.

Many thanks to Justin for the route.
