Something Different (Mixed Terrain)

Join us for a ride from Green Lake Aqua Theater(the bleachers south end of the lake) on a 29 mile route at Moderate pace 14-16MPH!

A nice late start for a fun interesting route. We shall explore on the road, off the road, paved trails, board walks, and stairs. I look forward to sharing some of my favorite spots in the NE Seattle area with Cascade riders. Though 80% paved the rest will get your bike dirty. Preview the route and load it on a navigational device (smart phone) or GPS, from the link below.  This is a hilly route.

Let's meet west of the bleachers in the parking lot. Please be ready to ride at 11:00. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to regroup frequently.  We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH). There are a couple sections where we will be required to walk.

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at mile 24 Carkeek Park.  Bring snacks and water for short pauses along the way.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Fenders are appreciated but not required. Rooster tails enforce healthy spacing.

Due to some of the route being on dirt trails I recommend 28mm or larger tires. 

Stairs are used in two locations. You will be required to carry your bike up and down stairs.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.

We hope you can join us!
