Are you new to bicycling, or just been off your bike for a while? Perhaps you've been meaning to ride more this year, but not yet gotten around to it? If so, Getting Ready to Ride might be just for you. It is an eight-week series starting with a flat and easy ride, and adding a little more challenge each week. We will regroup frequently and definitely at the top of any climbs.
We're offering leisurely (10-12mph) and steady (12-14mph) pace versions. This posting is for steady (12-14mph). Click here for leisurely (10-12mph).
Join us for a ride from Gas Works Park on a 20 mile route at steady pace (12-14mph)! This week we take the Burke-Gilman to the 39th Ave NE greenway where we take a gentle climb to Wedgwood, followed by a cross-town ride past Green Lake all the way to Sunset and western views over the Sound and the Olympics, before returning via Ballard and Fremont to the start. Let's meet at the east end of Gas Works parking lot at 9:45am for our pre-ride safety briefing, with a departure at 10:00am. Restrooms are available at the start and at Green Lake (10 miles).
Please note: During COVID-19 restrictions, all Free Group Rides are limited in the number of allowed participants.
