Hills of the SouthWest Coast (Stay Together)

Please join us if you can and share respects for Ride Leader Steve Hulsman who was tragically killed in a bicycle accident on Thursday. 

We'll be riding Steve's route at a strenuous pace, but for this ride, we'll stay together and regroup if needed at the top of the big climbs.

We’ll meet at Sam Smith Park and be ready to ride at 9:30am.  We'll head over to West Seattle and then climb several hills in West Seattle, Shorewood, Burien, Normandy Park and Des Moines, with constant views of Puget Sound. We’ll return using the same general route but with a few different hills.  We'll likely modify the return route thru West Seattle to shorten the ride time.   

We'll limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).

There will be no specific food stop on this ride, so please bring plenty of nutrition and two water bottles for such a long hilly ride.

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 canceled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.
