South End Getting Ready To Ride Series (GR2R) #4 - Leisurely

 This week’s ride is number 4 in the South End Getting Ready to Ride Series.  It is on Sunday, March 2, 2014 and will start in Renton at Burnett Linear Park.  This ride will take us along the west side of Lake Washington to Leschi where we will stop at Starbucks for a quick break before we turn around and return to Renton.  This is a beautiful out and back ride with a few steep but short hills to climb.  These rides will be conducted at two paces and you can select the pace that best fits you – A Leisurely paced group (10-12 mph on the flats, aka The “Red” group in CTS) and a Steady paced group (12-14 mph on the flats, aka The “Yellow” group in CTS).

Please plan to arrive by 1:15 so we can process the ride waiver, do equipment checks, and discuss the route. We anticipate the ride will last 2 – 2.5 hours depending on how the day goes.  Please consult the Cascade Bicycle Club Daily Rides web page for information for new riders (http://www.cascade.org/welcome-newcomers) as helmets and so forth are required for the ride.
