Parks of Capitol Hill & Madrona

Bring your camera and your climbing legs and join us for a 16.9 mile, 1365' elevation gain ride as we bike to Volunteer Park, the Cal Anderson Park reflecting pool, Homer Harris Park, Plum Tree Park, William Grose Park, Secret Beach, Lakeview Park and Interlaken Park.  Along the way, we will have multiple climbs including a few that are optional for those who want the extra challenge. Those not wanting to do the extra climbs will get a few minutes rest break.  We will also visit several scenic viewpoints.   We will re-group on the tops of all major hills.  Afterwards, we'll head to the Nickerson Street Saloon for food, drinks and socializing for those interested.  

Please note that the start time for the ride will be 5:30 PM due to the sunset getting earlier.

Please arrive at least 15-20 minutes before the start time to get your bike set up, sign the waiver, and to listen to the safety talk.

I will not be at the ride start should conditions be as noted in “Showers Cancels” above.  In addition, the ride may be cancelled if the air quality remains poor.  I will announce the cancellation in the comments section below at least 2 hours prior to the ride start and will monitor my phone and/or email listed in the contact information. If you have questions about the weather, please call (or email) before you leave for the ride.
