Why ride indoors? Skip spin class and join us for a Midweek Outdoor Riding in Evening (MORE) ride! Wednesday rides will be about 20 miles with steep hills, Thursday rides will be less than 20 miles with fewer hills. It is a perfect way to add a little training for otherwise weekend riders without spending too much time. We hope to offer multiple paces on both days when we can. The start locations will be in North Seattle (Lower Woodland Park, Matthews Beach, View Ridge, etc.). We will ride on urban Seattle/Shoreline streets as well as some trails.
It’s nice to bring your own cue sheet, cell phone, and/or ORCA card. Please pack water, snack, and tools/tubes to fix a flat as always. Even though the majority of ride will be in daylight, please have your lights (both front and back) just in case of unforeseen holdups. We will regroup at top of every hill for a reasonable time, but if you are too fast/slow for the majority, it will become self-paced. Stops will be brief. If you are struggling to sustain the advertised pace after climbing hills, the ride leaders will make sure you have a way of completing the ride or returning to the ride start by yourself. We want everyone to ride hard, but also to have fun and get back safely and within a reasonable amount of time for the distance.
This is the last MORE ride of the season! We will ride around Queen Ann and Magnolia this week. This route will give you Lake Union, downtown, Elliot Bay views. If we are lucky, we will see Mt. Rainier, too! We will ride in neighborhood streets and dedicated bike lanes, but can be hilly! ALL willing hill climbers with good attitude about them are welcome :-).
There is no scheduled stop en route, but we can stop to refill bottles as necessary. 6 pm is a roll out time, so please be at the start, ready to ride no later than 5:45.
Weather notice: In case of inclement weather, the ride leader will post a cancellation notice in the comments by 3pm day of the ride and she will not be at the ride start.
