Event has already happened.

Friday Riders will ride from Gasworks Park across the University Bridge and then along Boyer Avenue.  We will then ride along the Lk. Washington shoreline to the I-90 Bridge and cross over to Mercer Island.  The Group will ride in a clockwise direction around the Island.  There will be a lunch stop along the way.  Following completion of the Island tour we will return to the start via Capitol Hill - 19th Avenue and back across the University Bridge.  

There is extensive construction in the vicinity of the U of W football stadium making bicyling across the Montlake Bridge difficult hence the Boyer Avenue route.

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.
Terrain
Some Hills

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
