RIDE LOGISTICS & COMMUNICATION 

Meet-up location:
Meet in the parking lot just east of Fort Vancouver (the old Fort).  Enter off of Fort Vancouver Way and E 5th Street in Vancouver, WA  

To ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable ride, we'll aim to stay together.  If you have navigation capability, please help the group stay on track by loading the route from Ride with GPS to your device. Don't worry, no one will be dropped. We'll take breaks as needed. It would be a huge help if someone with "route navigation' could volunteer to "sweep," or ride at the back of the group to ensure everyone stays together.
  • Questions: Feel free to call the ride leader with questions.

We'll ride east along Evergreen Highway to 164th street, cross under Highway 14 and return west along Cascade Park Dr and MacArthur Boulevard.  We'll drop down Blanford to Evergreen Blvd to ride back to the Fort.
