Event has already happened.

Bike to Seattle Center and Downtown to see holiday decorations including gingerbread and model train villages.  The ride will be mostly flat and will include a snack or lunch stop at Seattle Center. We will do a little walking in Downtown.  The Olympic Hotel is wonderful at Christmas.  The Ginger Bread Village has moved to the City Center Building and may be possible to see as it's more spread out than at the Sheraton .  But if the crowds are too big  so close to Christmas, we will just see other sights.    While snow is not predicted snow or ice also cancel the ride.  This is my second attempt this ride due to rain earlier in the month.

Pace
Leisurely: [10-12mph]

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.
Terrain
Mostly Flat

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
