Fall is almost here, so that means it's time to ride for pastries! Today's route takes us to Celine Patissarie in Phinney Ridge!

Join us for a 23 mile loop around North Seattle and Shoreline/Richmond Park neighborhood. There is a rain in the forecast, but don't you worry. The route can be easily cut short. The most important part is that we are still going to the bakery regardless of how much riding we get in ;-). If there is a miracle we get a dry weather, our non-eating goal is to get to Richmond Beach Saltwater Park and admire Puget Sound closely. For those who like drinking hot bevarages, PLEASE remember to bring your own cup to be kind to trees! Most of you have two bottle cages. Use one of them for thermal cup/bottles :-). Let's meet in the lower Woodland Park parking lot, near the soccer fields at 8:45am for a pre-ride brief, then rolling promptly at 9:00am. 

Restrooms are available at the start and throughout the route. Depending on the weather, we will change where to stop for bathroom/water refill.

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. We'll limit speed to posted limits while on multi-use paths.

Regroups/Mechanicals: This will be a social ride with regroups at the top of bigger hills and at all critical turns along the way. We'll also enjoy some opportunities for photos at nice viewpoints. Please come prepared with the necessary equipment you may need to take care of flats or other mechanical problems. A cue sheet is available for you to print (at the link below) and is good to have in case you happen to get separated from the group. 

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. 

Registration: Please pre-register by clicking the red "Register Now" button above. This will help us a lot to communicate our visit to a small establishment. They can be better prepared to have hungry cyclists!

Hope you can join us!
