Burke-Gilman 55th Anniversary Hike-in Celebration from Rainier Beach (Steady)

Let's meet at the Atlantic City Boat Ramp in Rainier Beach (just east of Rainier Beach High School).  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 will ride along the shore of Lake Washington through the Arboretum to catch the Burke-Gilman Trail at the University of Washington and ride to Matthews Beach Park to join the 55th anniversary celebration of the opening of the Burke-Gilman Trail

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will ride as a stay together group.  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. Due to the short distance of the ride, we will stop along the way for restrooms only if needed.  Food and refreshments are available at Matthews Beach.

This ride is one-way only, riders need to plan their own return to Rainier Beach.

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!
