Seattle Pastry Rides: Alki Beach & Fuji Bakery (Steady)

The rainy season is here, but we can still have some pockets of driness! Let's keep riding for pastries! Come join us in our ongoing quest to find the best pastries on the Puget Sound. 

This week, we will do a flattish route from Gas Works Park to Alki Beach. On the way back, we will stop at Fuji Bakery on Elliot Ave. If you are planning on getting coffee, bring your thermos! ***This is a small bakery, so we would like to give them a heads-up on a head count. Please let us know if you are coming by signing an e-waiver.***

Pace: Please note, we will ride within the posted pace on the flats with an equivalent effort up hills. If you plan to ride faster or slower, please come prepared to ride on your own so that each pace group does not have long wait times. 
   
Regroups/Mechanicals: This will be a social ride with waits at the top of hills and all critical turns along with photo op stops along the way. We will not stop for mechanical issues. Please come prepared the necessary equipment you need to take care of flats or other problems on your own. Please print a cue sheet from the route link in the event that you get separated from the group. 

Rest Stops: There are restrooms at the start. We have an option to stop at Jack Block Park in West Seattle midride for bathroom break and photo shoot. The bakery stop is at MP24.

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.

RSVP: Please sign an e-wiaver (red button just below the ride title if you are signed into Cascade.org), so we can plan for the appropriate number of Ride Leaders. It is a great place for ride discussions and sharing photos after the ride

Cancellation Policy: In the event of  a weather cancellation, a notice will be posted in the comments on this page at least two hours before the ride and the ride leaders will not be at the ride start location.
