Event has already happened.

Let's meet up in front of Cascade Bicycle Club and ride down south via U-District, Eastlake, and Capitol Hill neighborhoods. We will cut through Rainier Beach neighborhood to reach Seward Park where we have a short break. We will then pedal north via Lake Washington Blvd and Arboretum. It is 34 miles with 1,500 feet elevation gain through city streets.

Full disclaimer...I completely stole this route from the Cascade Training Series, so it's sure to be a good one!

Rest Stops: MP19.3 @ Seward Park

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
