Seward Park to Golden Gardens (Moderate)

Let's meet at the Audubon Building at the entrance of Seward park. 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.

We'll roll along Lake Washington, cruise through the Arboretum, glance at the University of Washington and then hop on the Burke-Gilman trail, cruise through Ballard, pass the Ballard Locks until we arrive at our midway point at Golden Gardens Park. From there we reverse the route. 

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will stay together. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH, occasionally 10 MPH).

Restrooms and water are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at miles 16 in Golden Gardens Park. If so desired after the finish we bike up the hill from Seward park to Caffe Vita on Wilson Ave.

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.

We hope you can join us!
