This ride and route will follow the Get Ready to Ride Route Seattle #3. Please see the link for the route map and cue sheet below. The ride leader will not provide a map or cue sheet. If you would like a map and cue sheet please make a copy and bring them with you to the ride.
Route: This route is as follows, we will ride on the Burke Gilman Trail east from Gas Works Park, across the Montlake Bridge, ride east across the 520 (Evergreen Point floating bridge), and then head north through Kirkland. In Kirkland we will take a bathroom break and then head back south to the 520 Bridge. We will then return to the start location, via the Montlake Bridge, on to the Burke Gilman Trail riding west, arriving back at Gas Works Park. This is an urban ride, on bike lanes, trails and city streets.
