The 23rd in a series of events along the many mostly flat, mostly paved biking/walking trails in the Seattle area. This time we'll be riding the northermost section of the Centennial Trail, from Arlington to the Skagit County Line. (A previous event was held that biked the southern portion, from Machias to Snohomish).
Per geocaching.com event guidelines, the actual 'event' is the meet-up from 11:30am - noon at the posted coordinates, which is the parking lot for Haller Park on the Stillaguamish River just north of downtown Arlington.
This event is outdoors, but I will only cancel this event if the weather is terrible: heavy rain, lightning/thunder, snow or ice. Bring a waterproof layer if it might rain, and enough layers/gloves/etc to ward off any cold.
Information for the ride:
We'll bike north from the trailhead to the Skagit County Line, then turn around. The trail is paved and car-free. A map of the route can be found here. (Note: the trail runs approximately .5 miles north of the county line, so we can go a wee bit farther if we like.)
There are no places to eat along the way, so I suggest packing food/snacks if you're riding, and we can eat at the turnaround point.
Please show up well before noon so we can leave on time. Check your brakes and air beforehand if you will be biking.
Participants in the optional bicycle ride hold harmless the cache owner/event organizer and assume all risks and responsibilties involved in riding a bicycle on trails and streets. Wear a helmet, dress in layers, and bring a spare tube.
