August 26: John Wayne Pioneer Trail. Beautiful mountain

have to pedal. All down hill or level. About 26 miles. Social
pace. We will be riding through a 2.3 mile long tunnel without
lights so bring at least 2 front lights (more is better) and a rear
light that can last at least 30 minutes. If you can have one front
light that is mounted on your bike and one mounted on your head or
helmet that works well. Bring a sack lunch and drink and a way to
carry it on your bike (rack, handlebar bag, knapsack, etc.). We can
meet at T.J. Maxx in Woodinville to car pool and / or convoy at 9:30
AM or meet at 10:30 AM at Rattlesnake Lake 3 miles south of I-90
