Ride to the Ballpark with Cascade and the Mariners (Renton Edition)

On Sunday, August 21, Cascade Bike Club and the Seattle Mariners are inviting you to ride to Safeco!  The Mariners are playing an afternoon game against the Milwaukee Brewers (for those who remember, the one-time Seattle Pilots).  We will ride from Renton to the game, where Safeco has a secured bike parking area.  Our route will take us along the Green River through Tukwila, and up West Marginal Way to the West Seattle Bridge Trail.  We'll ride across the Duwamish to the Seattle Waterfront, and over to Safeco Field.  Listed mileage assumes a one-way trip.  After the game, I'm planning to retrace the route back to Renton, or you can head home by your route of choice.  Ride Leader mentoring opportunity available.

If you're attending, you need to buy a game ticket in advance, at:

Use the promo code "Bike" per the instructions on the webpage.  The view level tickets are $16, and the package includes a Mariners "Bike to the Ballpark" T-shirt.  Deadline to buy tickets is Friday at 5:00 PM.  Please bring a good lock as well; the secured bike parking is attended, but this is Seattle we're talking about.

Weather forecast looks good, but in case of bad weather, the ride leader will not be at the start.  If the ride is cancelled, the cancellation will be posted here 2 hours prior to the start time, and you will need to find other transportation to the game.

Take me out to the ballpark!
