Yep, and you'd understandably be looking to start earlier in the day too.
Of course, you could always keep going at trails end in Arlington - heading east towards Darrington on hwy 530, then turning around when you get 1/2 the mileage you want(mileage between Arlington/Darrington is closer to 30 miles, than the 17 more that you'd need in order to meet RD's criteria
)
I've done the Snohomish > Lk Stevens > Arlington > Darrington > Rockport > Concrete > Sedro-Woolley > Arlington > Lk Stevens > Snohomish loop (@150 miles) as the final training ride for every 1-day STP I rode...and I am a 5-time 1-day'er, so it worked for me!
We'll miss you this time, Mimi...see you on the road soon hopefully!
