Free Group Ride
Seattle Pastry Ride: Burien Grand Central Bakery (Moderate)
Ride Contact
Event has already happened.
It's fall, so that means it's time to ride for pastries. Join us for local rides to seek out local bakeries in the Seattle area. This week we will head out from Lincoln Park in West Seattle to skim along the waterfront, then climb up the ridge of West Seattle for a short visit to the Chinese Gardens at South Seattle College. We then head south to tackle the rollers of Three Tree before climbing back up to Burien and the bounties at Grand Central Bakery. From there we'll head back to West Seattle. Bring water bottles and money for food purchases.
Start Time & Registration: All riders must be checked in and have their bikes ready to ride by 9:20 AM. We'll briefly discuss Cascade rules for riding SMART before departing. To save time at the start please register for the ride using the registration button above (not mandatory). You must have a Cascade account to see the button and register. Create an account here. You do not have to cancel if you do not come.
Meeting Place: Lincoln Park is close to the Fauntleroy Ferry Dock. Please park in the NORTH lot. There are restrooms at the start.
Pace: Please note, we will ride within the posted pace on the flats with an equivalent effort up hills (all riders are welcome, including riders that are not members of CBC). If you plan on riding significantly faster or slower than the posted pace, please make sure to download or print out the posted route so you may continue the ride on your own.
Regroup/Mechanicals: This will be a social ride with regroups at the tops of bigger hills and at all critical turns along the way. We'll also stop for photos at nice viewpoints along the ride. Please come prepared with the necessary equipment to take care of your own flats or other mechanical problems (the group will not stop for extended mechanical issues). Please download the route or print out the cue sheet from the route link below in case you become separated from the group.
Rest Stops: There are restrooms at the start and at the pastry stop at MP-22.
Requirements: As is required with all Cascade rides, please ensure you wear a helmet. Come prepared with gear that is comfortable and appropriate for the distance/elevation/weather conditions.
Cancellation Policy: In the event of a weather cancellation, a notice will be posted in the Comments on this page at least two hours before the ride and the ride leaders will not be at the ride start location.
Meetup: For interactive discussions about this ride and photos visit Cascade Bicycle Club Free Group Rides on Meetup at www.meetup.com/cascaderides/.
