Central City Hilly (Warm up for Chilly Hilly)(Leisurely)

Let's meet at the north entrance to the Capitol Hill Light Rail Station for an in-city conditioning ride. Be there, ready to go at the time listed above. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

This ride will take us across Capitol Hill, Beacon Hill, and through Columbia City, covering about half the distance and elevation gain of the February 25 Chilly Hilly. We'll stop briefly at mile 11 for coffee, snacks, and a bathroom break at Olympia Coffee. We'll end at our starting point on Capitol Hill.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will regroup after substantial climbs.

Restrooms are not available at the start.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Other things to bring: phone; ID; cash and/or credit card; ORCA card; water and a small snack. 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 cancel the ride and all registered riders will be sent a notification email. If the ride is cancelled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.

All bodies and all bikes welcomed. We hope you can join us!
