Winter Rides often start with a little bicycle maintenance
to clean rusty chains from rainy weather.
|
Once the maintenance is done everything heads out on area trails,
Burke Gilman, Ship Canal, Downtown Seattle and Alki Beach.
|
While today's route skirts many neighborhoods, it takes riders directly
through Myrtle Edwards Park and the Olympic Sculpture Park.
|
The route then swings around the downtown harbor and takes
everyone along the water to a favorite midway stop - the Alki Bakery.
|
The bakery sits across from Lady Liberty and
a panaromic view of downtown Seattle.
|
Today's route distance is about 32 miles and except for a few
rolling streets, the whole route is fairly flat and easy to navigate.
|
The return trip is the same as the beginning and
quickly everyone is back where they started.
|
With a final ride along the ship canal, riders are soon,
back to the Burke Gilman Trail and Gasworks Park where they started.
