Leisurely Urbane Matthewsbeach Pedalers:  We will ride south as a group on the Burke-Gilman Trail to the new Cascade Clubhouse facility. This will be a short 2 mile one-way ride.  Families, individuals are all welcome to accompany us, the more the merrier. Celebrate the grand opening and take a look around at the Magnuson Park Cascade headquarters.  You may stay from 10a.m. until noon, peruse the facilities and then return to Matthew's Beach.  You are on your own to spend as little or as much time as you wish.  The return ride will be on your own. The terrain is flat. The pace is easy, no faster than 10 mph. Snow, ice or rain cancel the ride. Helmets and a functioning bicycle are required. No cue sheets provided. Free parking at Matthew's Beach Parking lot. Arrive early to beat the sea gulls for a good parking spot.

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.
Terrain
Mostly Flat

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
