WRUMPS Cascade Bicycle Center to Golden Gardens and Seattle Center
This is a fairly hilly ride with some urban traffic near Seattle Center. We will go up Ravenna and around Green Lake then on to Golden Gardens. A walk across Ballard Locks (required) and then up to Magnolia and down to Smith Cove. We'll pause at the tops of hills so we can stay together. From there it is trail to Myrtle-Edwards, up a bit to Seattle Center and connect on the bike trail on Mercer, Lake Union and back to CBC.
There are many sights to see on the way including the Troll, Lenin, Golden Gardens, the Locks, and Seattle Center. If you are new to Seattle or just know it by the freeway exits, this is a good way to get to know the Emerald City.
There is no formal lunch stop so bring snacks. We will pause about half-way to nibble snacks and use the restrooms, and pause a few minutes at the Seattle Center fountain.
The weather has been rather cold recently so dress appropriately. If the weather gets too much, we may alter or cut the route short.
Please arrive early enough to get yourself and bike ready and listen to the safety talk. Come a bit early and have some coffee in the CBC; restrooms located inside.
Ice, snow, steady rain cancel the ride; if weather conditions merit cancellation, the leader may not show up at the start. If unsure call 425.273.4156 after 9 am the morning of the ride or check the Comments below which will be posted by 9 am.
