Ride SLOW with Senior Ladies on Wheels the last Saturday of every month. We explore neighborhoods in Central Seattle, Beacon Hill, Capitol Hill and beyond, riding neighborhood greenways, trails and low traffic neighborhood streets. 

Everyone welcome, ladies and gentlemen, old and young, and everyone in between - as long as you ride SLOW! No one will be left behind - the slowest rider sets the pace. And there's no shame in getting off and walking a block or so. 

We'll stop for lunch along the way; expect to spend about 3 hours traveling approximately 10 miles each ride. Weather won't cancel, but if it's pouring rain we might make it a shorter ride. Details will be posted in the comments before each month's ride.

What to Know Before You Go

  • Advance registration required. Cancel if unable to attend, to open space for others.
  • Must be present at safety briefing to participate.
  • Helmets required.
Distance
10 mi.
Pace
Easy: [Under 10mph]

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.
Terrain
Rolling

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
