We finally have a nice winter day and to go with it
one of the club's newest bike routes going around North Seattle.
|
Ride start is at the Granite Curling Club on North 128th Street.
We begin going almost straight east to Mathews Beach.
|
At this point we pick up the Burke-Gilman Trail and head south
past the University of Washington on our way to Fremont.
|
Just before Fremont we come to Gasworks Park and being such
a nice day all head to the top of the park look out.
|
From here we can see the Seattle Skyline across Lake Union
and watch the sail boat races in front of us.
|
After a quick break in Fremont we travel along the canal to Magnolia
where we can travel around the bluff looking out over the Sound.
|
After a quick stop at Discovery Park we drop down over
the RR Tracks which takes us to Ballard Locks.
|
The locks are best known for the Fish Latter, assisting Salmon
on their way upstream as well as some pretty spectacular artwork.
|
From the locks we travel past the marinas on Seaview Avenue
on our way to Golden Gardens and uphill to the Blue Ridge.
|
After catching our breaths from some pretty steep climbs, we make
our way back to the start. Another great day of bicycling is at an end.
