Event has already happened.

Before REI there was Filson. Established in 1897 to sell rugged outdoor clothing to timber workers and later as outfitters for the 1898 Gold Rush, Filson is one of Seattle's iconic institutions. The company recently opened a new showroom/museum, with hunky sales staff dressed as lumberjacks. Truly an experience.The route will follow Dexter/2nd Ave to SoDo and return by the waterfront. A brief stop for lunch/snack. Bring a lock. Snow/ice also cancels. No pre-registration necessary.

What to Know Before You Go

  • Advance registration required. Cancel if unable to attend, to open space for others.
  • Must be present at safety briefing to participate.
  • Helmets required.
  • Riders under 18 years old require parental consent & approval from the Ride Leader.
Distance
20 mi.
Pace
Leisurely: [10-12mph]

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
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
  • 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
