Event has already happened.
Please join a ride around Seattle neighborhoods with us. Starting from Gas Works Park, we will ride to Ballard, Magnolia, and Centennial/Myrtle Edwards Parks. We will be riding both multi-use trails and regular roads. We will have a short coffee break at Uptown Espresso on Pier 70. This is a social ride with many photo op stops along the way, so bring your smile and a friend or two!
If you haven't ridden your bike for a while, please make sure to do the ABC check (http://www.cascade.org/abc-quick-check) before heading out because you are expected to handle minor mechanical issues like fixing a flat by yourself. Packing bus money/ORCA is a good idea in addition to carrying tubes/tools. Remember, this time of the year, it's prudent to wear in layers and include a rain jacket. Even though we have a planned coffee stop, please bring a water bottle and some snack as well.
This is a "stay together" ride, but we will climb hills at our own pace. We will regroup at the top of hills. However, if you can't sustain the advertised pace (too fast or too slow) on flat, it will become self-paced. Please make sure to bring a cue sheet with you.
We will meet on the sidewalk at east end of Gas Works Park parking lot. Bathroom is available in the park. Please come early enough to be ready to sign a waiver and listen to the safety speech and route briefing.
Tarrell Kullaway, a Ride Leader candidate, will be leading/sweeping part of the ride for us!
In the event of a weather cancellation, a notice will be posted in the comments on this page at least two hours before the ride and the ride leaders will not be at the ride start location.
