August 6th!- Centennial Trail

Hey Everybody,

For our second ride we will be starting in Snohomish and will bike along the Centennial Trail.. The trail can take you to all the way up to Skagit County. For this ride we will probably clock in around 30+ miles. From what I understand the trail is all flat. There are a few restrooms as well as drinking fountains along the way, but I highly recommend bringing a water bottle. The trail offers views of the Cascade Mountain Range.

I would like to have the pace be at
least 12mph, which I think that most of you were able to keep easily.

Snohomish County has a bunch of information regarding the trail at:
http://www1.co.snohomish.wa.us/Departments/Parks/Park_Information/Park_Directory/Regional_Parks/Centennial_Trail.htm
The link has a map. If you download the map you can see where we will meet. We will meet at "1" on the map.

I have cross posted this information on the blog:
