The Seattle Aquarium is free to Seattle and King County seniors (60 and older) with the Gold Card for Healthy Aging.  Bring your Card and bike to the Aquarium.  We'll stop for about an hour, see some fish, the sea otters, seals, and river otters and return to Gasworks while it is still light.  If you don't have a Gold Card you can get one before the ride at senior centers, Seattle Parks and Recreation Community Centers and Seattle Community Service Centers (including the senior center near the Locks and the Service Center by the Ballard Library).  Any younger riders who want to pay for the Aquarium are, of course, welcome to join the ride.

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
