Bike & Bagel Seattle backroads

Join us for a hilly 32-mile route to taste a couple of Seattle's best bagels. We'll visit the newly-opened Mt. Bagel in Madison Valley, burning off some calories on a couple of 14% climbs along the way, then stop in Rubenstein's Bagels in Capitol Hill on our return.

Let's meet in the Woodland Park lower parking lot, next to the soccer fields. Be there, ready to go at the time listed above. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, with an overall goal of staying together, regrouping at the tops of climbs if needed. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH, occasionally 10 MPH).

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at mile 20. Bagel breaks at mile 6 and 28.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Other things to bring: phone; ID; cash and/or credit card; ORCA card; water and a small snack. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

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 cancel the ride and all registered riders will be sent a notification email. If the ride is cancelled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.

We hope you can join us!
