Ride with Zach and Friends on Thursday

I'm hoping this will the first of a weekly series this Spring/Summer. We'll ride as a group at a pace where everyone can still socialize casually, regrouping regularly so folks don't get left behind. Plan to BYOB/food/snacks for one longer 30-45 minute stop around sunset times before rolling out and returning back to Fremont/Ballard. The plan is not to be out super late, but have a nice social mid-week ride.

Meet at Free Range Cycles at 5:30pm, ride at 6. The shop closes at 6 so get there early if you have any last minute needs. Please be conscientious about keeping the doorway clear for customers and gather by the bike racks on 35th.

It's looking drizzly, so the route's gonna be kinda simple. If the rain is awful, it's possible I'll cancel, but unlikely. RSVP here for updates! No gravel this time I don't think, but I can't promise. ;)

The Route (~18 miles round trip)

• Ride East on the Burke to Montlake
• ride up through the arboretum
• down along lake washington blvd
• 30-45 min stop at the Mt. Baker Overlook on 31st over I-90, probably 7pm-ish
• Ride back north through Judkins park, on the back side of capitol hill
• Descend back to Fremont on Interlaken

I'll share a live tracking link when the ride starts if folks want to try to intercept mid-ride.
