This is a mostly flat scenic ride along the Seattle waterfront from Gas Works Park to Alki Beach in West Seattle. Our route will take us along the ship canal, Myrtle Edwards Trail, and Alki Trail, with some riding in traffic through the Elliott Bay waterfront area. We'll stop to enjoy the Olympic outdoor sculpture garden and have a coffee break midway  through the ride at Alki beach.  http://ridewithgps.com/routes/7030470

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

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
