Centennial Trail Lunch and Bike Ride

June is here which means its time to start the Pack Bike Ride!

For our first ride the pack will meet mid ride at the Machias Park Trail Head at 11am. This location has parking for those families not wanting to ride and has bathrooms, picnic tables, water fountains and bathrooms. For those families wanting to ride bikes, we have suggested several starting points based on your families biking ability. The route is relatively flat.

Option A – Park along Maple Ave between the Snohomish Aquatic Center and 10th Street. This provides a 5.5 mile ride to the park (11 mile round trip). I would plan arriving at the trailhead around 10:00 am. This would give you 15 minutes to get bikes setup and about a 45 min ride at 8 mph.
Option B – Pilchuck Trailhead is about halfway to the park and provides a 3.25 mile ride to the park (6.5 mile round trip). I would plan arriving at the trailhead 10:15am. This would give you 15 minutes to get bikes setup and about a 30 min ride at 6 mph.
Option C – Machias Park Trail Head for those wanting to just ride for a bit and turn around when you see your Cub Scout friends. I would suggest arriving around 10:30am.

At the Machias Park Trail Head we are planning to have everyone arrive by 11am. The pack will informally meet (no uniforms or flag ceremonies) to play and have fun at the playground. The pack will provide ice cream sandwiches for all in attendance. The entire ride will be on the Centennial Trail with only a couple of street crossings. Helmets are required for everyone riding. It should be a nice easy ride. I hope to see everyone there!
