Want to see some of the coolest green spaces in North Seattle? This ride visits well-known and hidden gems of our parks system. We'll stop at ravines, medicinal gardens, and overlooks, check out the Caddy at the most unique P-Patch, and even get pictures on Homer Simpson's couch. Our ultimate goal: the Ballard P-Patch Art in the Garden festival, with live music, food, drink and a plethora of local art. Bring $ for lunch.

Terrain
Some Hills

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
