Capitol Hill and Beacon Hill

Join us for a 20.8 mile, 1450' elevation gain ride as we bike to Capitol Hill, Beacon Hill, Leschi, and Madrona.  Along the way, we will have a 1.5 mile descent on Cheasty Blvd., bike through Mt. Baker Park, Stop at a scenic overlook in Leschi, bike across a wooden walkway amongst tree tops in Madrona, and visit Interlaken Park. There will be a couple of challenging optional climbs offered for the climbing enthusiasts-one up a steep paved walking trail in Madrona, the other a block on E. Roy which is the steep paved street in Seattle.  Those not partaking in the optional climbs will get a couple minutes of rest.  We will re-group on the tops of all major hills.  Afterwards, we'll head to the Nickerson Street Saloon for food, drinks and socializing for those interested.  

Please arrive at least 15-20 minutes before the start time to get your bike set up, sign the waiver, and to listen to the safety talk.

I will not be at the ride start should conditions be as noted in “Showers Cancels” above. I will announce the cancellation in the comments section below at least 2 hours prior to the ride start and will monitor my phone and/or email listed in the contact information. If you have questions about the weather, please call (or email) before you leave for the ride.
