Last Minute La Conner Steady Ride
I noticed two things a few minutes ago. (1) No Tuesday steady ride for tomorrow. (2) I've been spending way too much time working on software and not enough time on my bike. This may not be the most creative route, but it should help with both things.
I'm going to leave the Skagit River Walk Park in Mt Vernon at 10:00, head out to La Conner and back at a high steady pace (closer to the 14mph end of steady). The route is about 30 miles with the only elevation gain being the bridge from Fir Island up to Rexville. Total elevation gain is ~250', which is pretty much flat for around here.
After the ride there's a good chance I'll put my bike in the car, get some pad Thai take out at Rachawadee in Mt Vernon, then head to one of the River Walk Park tables for a later lunch.
Bathrooms at the start and in La Conner at mile 20. Snack break in La Conner as well.
Meet at Skagit River Walk Park in Mt Vernon at 9:45 AM for the safety briefing prior to a 10:00 AM roll out.
