Bike Happy Hour: Summer Shoegazing Edition

After a few heavily-themed iterations of Bike Happy Hour... it's officially summer. That's it; that's the theme. But don't you worry: I take my vibe-curation responsibilities seriously, and I've spent far too much time assembling a playlist of music that I'd normally have blaring on a warm summer evening—in other words, heavy on the dreampop and '90s alt rock. So please come join me at my favorite semi-secret sunset-watching spot! (And cross your fingers that the people at the marina next door don't get too grumpy with us because I think it might technically be private property?)

If you need to pick up drinks or snacks on the way, the most convenient place to grab them will be the AM/PM at Dravus and 20th. You'll also find QFC, Pagliacci, and some other stuff on Dravus just across the rail yard, and more options in the Magnolia urban core if you're not afraid of a climb (followed by the drop down 32nd and some hike-a-bike via Galer, if you're looking for the most expedient route down).

I'll also be leading a group ride over from Free Range Cycles! I'll be there around 5:15 to hang out with Luke and Hana, and we'll roll out promptly at 5:35, targeting a 12-14mph pace on the flats with similar effort on the few short climbs. Route is here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43356040
