City Hills and Views

~~Ride Leader: Howard Strickler  (206) 669-4917
This is a great in-City ride presenting many views with some very steep hills in the first part of the ride.  Start at Leschi Starbucks.  Be prepared to do some climbing.  Moderate pace depending on group and the perception of the ride leader.  Food stop at Alki. We cut over Beacon Hill via the Chief Sealth Trail, drop down to Boeing Field, then up and over West Seattle, Lincoln Park, Alki (where we will stop for a quick fuel break) the Seattle waterfront, north to edge of Magnolia then back to Leschi via U of W, Montlake and Lake WA Blvd.  This is a very hilly ride, so be prepared to climb!  We will regroup as needed especially after climbs due to ride leader experiencing oldness.  However, pick another ride if climbing is  not your thing.  Call Howard if weather questionable.  Parking north or south of Leschi Starbucks and ride to start.  Ride departs at 10 AM sharp so be early to sign in, and bring a snack, patch kit or extra tubes.  City riding can be a glass shardful experience.
