JDRF Pacific NW Ride to Cure

Hi Folks,
I'm leading this Sunday's ride (Aug 1st). Leaving Bothell at 8 am for a fairly flat ride. We're meeting at the gravel parking lot, right by the burke gilman bike trail. It's just south of downtown Bothell main street, go over the bridge and turn right in to the lot - plenty of parking. We'll adjust speed and distance to riders wishes. I was thinking out to Issaquah and back along lake Sammamish, but will adjust. Hope to see several folks this Sunday.
