Join us on a 36.1 mile route from Renton to Alki at a Moderate pace (14-16 MPH) ! The pace of this ride is based on having no wind and being on a flat road. If there is a headwind or a hill, the pace will be lower, if we have a tailwind or downhill, the pace may be higher. Due to the number of similar routes I ride version numbers are used, differing versions of the same ride may have very different elevation profiles. Keep this in mind when deciding to join this ride.
Let's meet at Burnett Linear Park, and please be ready to ride at 1:00 PM. We will start with the 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 stay together. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).
Restrooms are not available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water. Please see the stop list below;

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancelation 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. Mentoring is available for prospective Ride Leaders with advance notice.
