Coffee, Salmon, and Trolls

Please join us for a fun ride to Issaquah where we'll enjoy a beverage and snack, socializing with fellow riders at Issaquah Coffee or Paisley's Tea Room which are across from one another in Gilman Village. Those carbs and caffeine will then motor us to the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery in Downtown Issaquah where we can view frolicking Chinook and Coho. When we've had enough salmon, we'll venture off to find Jakob Two Trees, one of five Thomas Dambo trolls residing in the Seattle area, before heading back to Sixty Acres. 

Let's meet at the Sixty Acres Soccer Fields. Be there, ready to go at the time listed above. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, regrouping at the top and base of hills as necessary. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH, occasionally 10 MPH).

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at 16 miles (Issaquah Coffee) and at 30 miles (Marymoor Park). 

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Other things to bring: phone; ID; cash and/or credit card; ORCA card; ample water and a small snack. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet or there is a chance of rain, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will cancel the ride and all registered riders will be sent a notification email. If the ride is cancelled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.

We hope you can join us!
