Ralph Nussbaum (206)783-6450
The Greater Seattle Century (GSC) takes you on a wide circle around Seattle with a variety of terrain with many flat stretches interrupted by a few steep hills. We start by heading north along the Burke-Gilman Trail to Bothell, then along mostly quiet backcountry roads through Woodinville, Maltby, Carnation, Fall City, Issaquah and Hobart. The GSC then follows the Cedar River Trail to Renton and returns to Gasworks via Seward Park and Lake Washington Blvd. This is the perfect late summer century! There is a total of approximately 3,100 feet elevation gain from beginning to end. PLEASE NOTE: This is a self-supporting ride. A detailed cue sheet will be provided with suggested rest stops and lunch stop. There will be no food, snacks or drinks provided by CBC or the ride leaders on this ride. There will be no sweep. Riders will be on their own. We suggest that you partner with at least one other rider in case you encounter difficulties.
