Stinky Spoke Snapshots

The riders are out in force, despite, or because of, the rain!

 

And they're off! The Stinky Weather Poker Ride, Saturday, Jan. 14 through Woodinville and Redmond has begun. The bicycle ride is to raise money for and, it seems, to get your bike really muddy.

Ride organizers claim to have chosen the date so the weather would be, well, stinky. “We picked what should be the worst day of the year for weather (combination of the rainiest and the coldest),” organizers wrote on the nonprofit’s website. It may not snow before the ride is over, but overnight rain that has continued to morning insured there is plenty of mud.

The 18.5-mile bicycle ride started just north of the Sammamish River Trail then cuts up the Tolt Pipeline Trail from Woodinville-Redmond Road, dubbed “Heart Attack Hill” over Hollywood Hill and back to the Tolt, over to Trilogy in Redmond, through the Redmond Watershed then back to the Tolt and the Sammamish River Trail, finally arriving at Redhook Brewery for the end of the ride party.
