Midweek Outdoor Riding in the Evening (MORE) Hills on Wednesdays - N Seattle

Why ride indoors? Skip spin class and join us for a Midweek Outdoor Riding in Evening (MORE) Hills! MORE Hills typically occur Wednesday evenings from March to August. Rides will be about 20 miles with a handful of steep or "pitchy" hills thrown in. It is a perfect way to add a little training for otherwise weekend riders without spending too much time.

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 know a way back to the start. We want everyone to ride hard but to have fun and get back safely.

Please bring your own cue sheet. 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.

This week's route is a counter clockwise route from Woodland Park down Ravenna Blvd and up Sandpoint Way. From near the top of SPW we make a winding descent to the BGT. From Lake Forest Park we head up Perkins Way to Shoreline and then an almost straight shot south to Greenlake and back to Lower Woodland.

We will be rolling promptly at 6:00pm, so please arrive with enough time to get ready to ride, sign the waiver and listen attentively to the safety speech before then.  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 section below by 4pm day of the ride, and Ride Leaders will not be at the ride start.

Weather notice:  Ride leaders will not be at the ride start should conditions be as noted as “Weather Cancels” described above.  The Ride Director will announce the cancellation in the comments section below at least two hours prior to the ride start and will monitor this Meetup page and respond to comments.
