West Seattle-Burien Loop

This ride will explore some hilly and scenic territory between West Seattle and Burien. After leaving the start at Jack Block Park, we will head around Alki, follow the road along the Sound and make the long climb up Marine View Drive before heading inland a bit to work our way towards Burien. The route will then go down the long winding downhill to loop around the Three Tree Point neighborhood and then work our way back to the start through the neighborhoods along the western side of West Seattle. A brief stop at The Original Bakery in Fauntleroy is planned.

Pace: Please note, we will ride within the posted pace on the flats with an equivalent effort up hills. 
   
Regroups/Mechanicals: This will be a social ride with waits at the top of hills and all critical turns. We will not stop for mechanical issues, so please be prepared to take care of flats or other problems on your own. Please print a cue sheet or download the file from the route link.

Rest Stops: There are restrooms at the start. The planned break is at The Original Bakery in Fauntleroy. 

Requirements: Please make sure to arrive at least 20 minutes before the ride start so you can get prepared to roll out at the posted time, sign a waiver, and hear the ride briefing. As is required with all Cascade rides, please ensure you wear a helmet and come prepared with gear that is comfortable and appropriate for the distance/elevation.
