Haller Lake, Wedgwood Rock & Talaris Ponds

Join us for a 24.1 mile, 1573' elevation gain as we bike through the neighborhoods of Fremont, Phinney Ridge, Pinehurst, Chelsea, Cedar Park, Wedgwood, Hawthorne Hills and Laurelhurst.  Along the way, we will visit Haller Lake, the Meadowbrook Ponds, the Dahl Playfields, Wedgwood Rock, the Talaris Ponds, and the Union Bay Natural Area.  The route will have some sections which are on paved and unpaved trails.  There will be one optional short, steep climb up a paved trail for the climbing enthusiasts.  Those not wishing to do this climb will get a few minute rest break while this section is being done.  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 make sure to 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.

The ride leaders will not be at the ride start should conditions be as noted in “Showers Cancels” above.  The ride leader 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 or air quality, please call (or email) before you leave for the ride.
