| Ride Description: |
| This family-friendly ride leaves from Wallingford Center at 11am. We plan to arrive at South Lake Union around noon. We'll regroup at 3:30pm for the ride back.
Saturday September 24 is Moving Planet: A Day Move Beyond Fossil Fuels. This is a 350.org event. 350 is the highest level of carbon dioxide that climate scientists say is safe to have in our atmosphere. Right now we are at 392 ppm and our emissions are rising.
Come be in the parade of boats and bikes, feet and wheels, pedaling, rowing, sailing, walking, dancing, skipping, skating, jumping, cartwheeling our sweet selves from all over Cascadia to Lake Union Park, 860 Terry Avenue North.
There will be tasty food trucks, Undriving, music, Lake Union walks, a mini-boat regatta, climate phone apps, giant puppets, workshops on Moving Beyond Coal and Moving Beyond Oil with Earth Ministry, Sierra Club and Climate Solutions, hands-on classes on on skateboarding with Skate Like A Girl, eBikes, bike hauling with Haulin Colin, Seattle Electric Vehicles, stand-up kayaking and much, much more.
The culminating climate rally happens between 1-3 P.M. when we’ll hear speeches and take an iconic 350 photo. There are Cascade Bike Club groups arriving from all over the city to this event.
(Some Moving Planet Seattle workshops and classes are in the morning. We'll have maps on-line soon with the best way to get to South Lake Union by bike, boat, foot or bus if you want to go early -- you can always ride back with us.)
