After some quick hellos, high-end riders go south to 3 Tree Point
and social riders go north to Smith Cove Park & Magnolia.
|
Both routes are along the water and both offer panaramic views
of Puget Sound and Mount Rainier in the distance.
|
After a quick stop at Smith Cove Park for snacks,
it is off to the Ballard Locks and Magnolia.
|
The Magnolia Bicycle Loop is all on low traffic city streets
with out of this world views of the sound and downtown Seattle.
|
After a steep climb up Magnolia Hill and a fun ride along it's parameter,
everyone gets to coast back down on their way back to Alki Beach.
|
To shorten the return trip and make sure all the social riders
get back to the Alki Bakery first, the harbor ferry is used.
|
With all cyclists back from their rides, everyone takes time
for a pastry and socializing while planning next week's rides.
