To celebrate the Chinese New Year, members bike from Gasworks Park
to Kubota Gardens and then the International District for lunch.
|
The beginning of the route is very traditional, taking everyone
on the Gasworks to Seward Park Trail south along Lake Washington.
|
From Seward Park, riders continue south on Seward Park Avenue
and then jog uphill to the Gardens on Renton Avenue.
|
This time of the year the gardens aren't that colorful
but they are still special and fun for everyone to explore.
|
From the gardens all bike north on the Chief Sealth Trail,
scenic country beauty in the middle of the city.
|
The trail ends just south of downtown Seattle
a short distance from the International District and Uwajimaya Village.
|
After taking in a little of the New Year's excitement, fire crackers,
Dragon Dances and music, all get some refreshments at Uwajimaya's.
|
Then just a block away is the new Historic Chinatown Gate,
opened two days earlier, and a must see for all visitors.
|
From the gate it's north again through Mrytle Edwards Park,
past Olympic Sculpture Park, and back to Gasworks.
