Hi,
Let’s gather tomorrow at O’Donnell’s Farmhouse, 13724 Laconner Whitney Rd, Mount Vernon, WA 98273 https://maps.app.goo.gl/sNDUm3NMJfV4XX7B9
We’ll ride north to Edison; loop east then south to Bennett Road; along Memorial Highway and Young back to the starting point. We’ll have an option to ride about 4 miles of gravel (small chip, well compacted, dead level) along Padilla Bay Trail. If you’d rather not ride gravel, simply stay on the tar road. The two ways will soon rejoin.

The link for a printable paper map can be found below.
As always, bike, helmet and signed waiver are required. Highly suggested is downloading the route so you know where to turn. Include lights, mirrors and hi-vis if you feel so moved (not bad ideas). Let’s look out for each other. Leave no rider behind. Buddy up. Perhaps you’d like to turn on Location Sharing in Google Maps so we can locate you if we loose sight of you.
Let’s ride our own ride but meet up and regroup at the driftwood sculpture art works at about mile 13. We can grab a quick photo then be off again.
Good food at O’Donnell’s for nourishment after our ride.
Sign up on line, it’s easy to do. There will be a paper sign up sheet also if for some reason electronic registration fails. Our insurance mandates that all riders sign a agreement/waiver for each ride.
John
