What better way to celebrate this great early fall weather, than with a bike ride and pastries?  Please join us for a moderate-paced ride (14-16 mph on flat road with no head wind), around northwest Seattle.  We will start at the Lower Woodland Park playfields parking lot, and ride through Queen Anne, Magnolia, and Ballard.  Part-way through the ride, there will be a short bakery stop at Larsen’s Danish Bakery for a pastry (or two) before heading back.

There will be hills on this route as we work up an appetite.  Please hydrate yourself prior to the ride and bring a bottle of water and some snacks to fuel you.

Any updates will be posted here. Please feel free to post any questions and comments! Note: Route can be adjusted based on Sunday's weather.  Currently, it looks to be partly cloudy and in the low 70s!

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
