Ride Description: 

Please join us for a LESS Hills ride! Midweek outdoor riding in evening with less steep hills is a weekly ride of about 20 miles with a few hills. It is a perfect way to add a little training for otherwise weekend riders without spending too much time. And it’s a great way to enjoy the long daylight of Pacific Northwest spring and summer! Don’t go to an indoor spinning class! Instead, ride with us!

Everyone is welcome, including those who aren't so sure about hill climbing.  BUT PLEASE BRING A SMILE AND GOOD ATTITUDE WITH YOU!  

The start locations will be in North Seattle (Lower Woodland Park, Matthews Beach, View Ridge, etc.). We will ride on urban Seattle/Shoreline streets as well as some trails. We will keep the published pace on flats, but you can go uphills at your own pace. We will regroup at top of every hill. It’s nice to bring your own cue sheet. Please pack water, snack, and tools/tubes to fix a flat as always. Even though the majority of ride will be in daylight, please have your lights (both front and back) just in case.

This week we start from Lower Woodland Park, go out to Ballard, cross the Locks, climb to the Magnolia Bluff, cruise over to Queen Anne Hill, visit Kerry Park and then work our way back to the start.  Lots of photo ops and a few hills.

Yes, there are restrooms and water at the start.

6:00 pm is a roll out time. Please aim to arrive by 5:45 so you have time to get ready, sign the waiver, and listen to the safety briefing. Registering here will make the process easier and we can better preprare with appropriate number of Ride Leaders. 

In addition to showers, any other hazardous conditions will cancel a ride. If a ride is cancelled due to hazardous conditions, the notice will be posted here in the comments section below, and on the Meetup announcement page two hours prior to the start time on the day of the ride. If that notice is posted, the ride leaders will not be at the start.
