Gardens & Grub - West Seattle Loop (NOTE--Pacific Standard Time)

REMINDER: Clocks fall back to standard time Sunday morning!
Join us for a leisurely social roll around West Seattle and a stop for lunch near the end of the ride. We'll skirt the dirt trail along Lincoln Park, check out the views at Alki Point, swing by the Dragonfly Garden and then climb up to the Japanese Garden before heading south along the back roads down to Fauntleroy and lunch grub at Wildwood Market & Eatery. This route involves some gradual but steady hills from miles 8 to 18 with one short 10% grade (but walking it is perfectly fine).
Pace: This is a leisurely paced ride; 10 -12 mph on flats with no wind, and your own pace uphill.
Check in: Please check in by 10:50 a.m. so we can do a quick safety briefing before the 11:00 a.m. departure. We'll meet at the south end of the upper parking lot at Lincoln Park.
Bring: Suggest bringing money for food and a chain/lock for securing your bike during the optional lunch stop. Please note that the waterfront is sometimes foggy in the morning, so dress accordingly.
Route: The planned route/cue sheet is at the link below. It will not be handed out at the start. The goal is to stay together, but please bring navigation aids in case you need to finish on your own.
Restrooms & Food: There are restrooms at the start/finish and miles 13.6 and 19 (with food for purchase at Wildwood Market & Eatery).
Repairs: Please be prepared to take care of your own flats and mechanicals or with a plan for getting back to the start if your bike won't get you there. 
Registration: Please RSVP by clicking on the red Register Now button at the top of this page. Preregistration saves time at the start and allows us to contact you if there are changes. There is no need to cancel your reservation if you decide not to ride.
Cancellation: Forecasts for rain or unsafe riding conditions will be cause for cancellation, in which case the ride leader will not be at the start and the cancellation will be posted in the comments section at least 2 hours before the start.
Looking forward to riding with you!
