Urban exploration series - Magnolia

Join us for a ride from Leschi Starbucks on a 27 mile (43 km) route at moderate pace (14-16mph)! There is some climbing on this route (1700 ft/ 508m).

On this ride we'll cruise through downtown on our way to a circuit of Queen Anne hill and Magnolia and return via Fremont and Montlake. On a clear day we'll have startling views of the Olympic mountains.

Let's meet at the Leschi Starbucks and please be ready to ride at 9:00AM. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to regroup as needed. 

Restrooms are available at the start. We will not stop along the way for restrooms/water at miles unless asked. Also, there will be no planned food stops so be sure to bring anything you might need on the bike. You will be finished in plenty of time for lunch.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.

We hope you can join us!
