We meet at Gasworks Park and ride via lower Capitol Hill and the little known Melrose Trail thru the I-90 tunnel to lunch on Mercer Island.  After a food stop, we continue around the Island and back to Gas Works Park via “upper” Capitol Hill and the beautiful Interlaken area.
 

Registration: Please click on the red “Register Now" button to sign up for the ride - it saves time at the start and allows me to print the rider list in advance. You need an account, but you don't have to become a member and there is no charge. You can also register manually at ride start. If you register online on the day of the ride, cut-off time is 7:45AM.

Start:  We like to leave on time, so please arrive at least 15 minutes in advance to ready your bike, check in and participate in the safety and ride briefing. There are restrooms & water available.

Route and Cue sheet:  available at the Ride with GPS link below

Pace: Moderate - 14-16 miles per hour on flat, no wind, slower uphill and faster down.

Weather:  In the event of showers or other adverse weather conditions, I will cancel the ride & post cancel information at least two hours before the start.

Comments

weather looks marginal at the moment, but I will be at the start and make a ride/not ride decision at that time. 

I’m cancelling the ride, as the weather has deteriorated. However, I’ll be at the ride start in case anyone doesn’t see this late date cancel notice
