Parks and Locks (Leisurely)

Let's meet at the east end of the Gas Works Park parking lot. 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 check out a few of Seattle’s parks, including the Olympic Sculpture Park, the newly reopened Myrtle Edwards and Centennial Parks, Discovery Park and the Ballard Locks.  Bikes must be walked through the Olympic Sculpture Garden and the Ballard Locks - all the better for us to linger a moment and take in the amazing sights!

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will regroup frequently.

Restrooms are available at the start.  We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at Centennial Park (mile 6.6) and the Ballard Locks (mile 13.5).

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 in the Weather Status 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!
