Scenic Backways & Climbs of Leschi, Madrona & Capitol Hill

Join us for a 19.3 mile, 1470' elevation gain ride as we ride to Leschi, Madrona & Capitol Hill.  Along the way, we will visit Volunteer Park, the Daejeon Pagoda,   Mt. Baker Viewpoint, Leschi Natural Area, Holy Names Academy, and Interlaken Park.  We will also explore some hidden paved trails and offer some bonus climbs for those who want a little more.  Those not interested in doing the optional climbs will get a few minutes of rest.  We will re-group on the tops of all major hills.  Afterwards, we'll head to the Nickerson Street Saloon for food, drinks and socializing for those interested.  

Please arrive at least 15-20 minutes before the start time to get your bike set up, sign the waiver, and to listen to the safety talk.

I will not be at the ride start should conditions be as noted in “Showers Cancels” above. I will announce the cancellation in the comments section below at least 2 hours prior to the ride start and will monitor my phone and/or email listed in the contact information. If you have questions about the weather, please call (or email) before you leave for the ride.
