Free Group Ride
Get On Your Bike In West Seattle
Event has already happened.
Been off your bike for a while? Bought a bike and not yet confident riding? Time to take advantage of nicer weather to get riding for fun, fitness or health. Here is an opportunity to develop riding skills, become more comfortable with your bike and feel confident riding in a group.
We will start and finish at Jack Block Park. (if you go past Salty's, you have gone too far.) The route will take us mostly on trails to the South Park Bridge and back. (there is some urban street riding) the route is almost entirely flat.
This is a social rode with experienced bike leaders and open to everyone. There are controlled intersections, but you will not be left behind. If the group doesn't make it through a light, we will wait at the next safest stop for you.
Leisurely pace means 10-12 miles on the flats without a headwind. Average walking speed is 3 mph, so we will be 3-4 times faster! If you aren't sure about the pace, please join us anyway, but look at the route and bring a printed cue sheet with you.
You should dress for the weather but you don't need special bicycle clothes. All you need is a working bicycle,a helmet, snacks and a water bottle. If your bicycle hasn't been ridden in a while please do the ABC check(link below) or take it to your local bicycle shop a few days before the ride.
Please arrive 20 minutes prior to the start, to get your bike ready, check in and participate in the safety and ride briefing. We will go over hand signals and what we say during the ride to keep ourselves safe.
