October 29 Ride Info - Lake Wenatchee

Date/Time and Meeting point for the ride.
     Saturday, October 29th, 2011 8:30AM - Bethany Community Church, Seattle     
     I will be in the parking lot at my White Toyota 4Runner with the trunk open. I have a black road bike.

These show the basic destinations, but we will not park at the state park. It adds unneeded mileage. We will park closer to the heart of the climbs. See below in the "destination" area where we will actually park and start to ride from.Lake Wenatchee Route Link 1

Destination (Start and finish)
     Start: Lake Wenatchee CLICK HERE FOR GOOGLE MAP
     Turn Around: A few different points.
     Finish: Lake Wenatchee

Directions to start or/ meeting point.
    Bethany Community Church
   
    
Terrain (Flat, Hilly, etc.)
     The ride begins as a rolling country road. It starts to climb steadily. The scenery will be great. Fall colors should be coming in so it has the potential to be very pretty. 

Distance of the ride (Mileage)
     The distance of the ride can be up to 30+ miles round trip. We can set a few stops along the way and decide how we are all feeling. Right now the plan is to go to and pedal. We will have breaks and stops, if we decide we want some more distance, we keep going, or we can return and head back to the cars.

Misc. Details for gear/items needed for the ride.
     Bring water, misc. tools and such needed to repair a flat. (Do not worry if you do not have these things. I will go over all of this and will provide assistance with anybody with a flat or mechanical issues with their bikes.

     The ride begins flat then there are some rolling hills once on Mercer Island. 

Distance of the ride (Mileage)
     The distance of the ride can be up to 30 miles round trip. We can set a few stops along the way and decide how we are all feeling. Right now the plan is to go to Mercer Island, loop the Island then ride back to Madrona. If we decide we want some more distance, we can turn south and loop around Seward Park. Then we would return to Madrona Park. This would be a total of 30 miles. If we do not do the Seward loop, then it brings the mileage down to the 25 mile range.
