Join us for a ride that goes west and northwest from the Peddler Bike Shop to Charing Cross Road and back (unless you are going on to Alaska). There is some urban riding, but most of the ride is in bike lanes or on quiet shady neighborhood streets. This ride is mostly flat but has a few hills in the first half that may challenge riders unused to hills. Average speed will be 11-13 mph, but the group may go faster on flat straightaways. This is a no-drop ride and we will regroup at corners and hilltops as necessary. There will be a store stop (gas station) at ~mile 14. At ~3 miles from the finish, stop off at 2905 Dover Place for breakfast tacos and cake to celebrate the 70th birthday of Mark Takeuchi.
Riders should bring helmets, spare tube, and emergency identification. Please leave headphones, earbuds, and loudspeakers at home.
Please arrive at least 5 minutes early for route briefing. We will leave promptly at the posted time. Parking is available north of 51st on Duval and on the side streets around Duval. Please don't park in the alley behind the Peddler Bike Shop.
