Ride Description:
Why ride indoors? Skip spin class and join us for a Midweek Outdoor Riding in Evening (MORE) ride! This is a weekly ride of about 20 miles with a few hills. For the month of March, we will keep the distance shorter and elevation gain to minimal until daylight gets longer and our fitness level catches up :-). It is a perfect way to add a little training for otherwise weekend riders without spending too much time.

The start locations will be in North Seattle (Lower Woodland Park, Matthews Beach, View Ridge, etc.). We will ride on urban Seattle/Shoreline streets as well as some trails. We will regroup at top of every hill for a reasonable time, but if you are too fast/slow for the majority, it will become self-paced. It’s nice to bring your own cue sheet. Please pack water, snack, and tools/tubes to fix a flat as always. Even though the majority of ride will be in daylight, please have your lights (both front and back) just in case.

This week’s MORE ride starts at View Ridge Playfield. The route takes us through N Seattle neighborhoods of Maple Leaf, Licton Springs, Bitter Lake, Pinehurst and Meadowbrook.

There is no scheduled stop en route, but we can stop to refill bottles as necessary. 5:30 pm is a roll out time, so please be at the start, ready to ride no later than 5:20.
