NPOC Monday Greenlake Social Ride

About this Ride: This ride is designed for entry-level cyclists, cyclists slowly getting back on their bikes after winter or some injuries and those avid cyclists who want to spin lightly with a great group of people to remove all the lactic acid from challenging weekend rides

When: Mondays

Start Location: Greenlake, Seattle
Parking lot in front of the soccer field. Between N 55th Street, and the intersection of West and East Greenlake Ways North (2 blocks South of the Lake). View map...

Start Time: 6 PM

Pace: 12-14 mph. The pace will vary depending on the group. This ride is welcoming entry-level cyclists. However you should be sufficiently fit to ride for a few miles on the flat at a minimum of 12 mph, and be able to climb one fairly long but very gradual hill (on our return to Greenlake).

Duration and Distance: 1hr to 1hr 1/2 depending on the size and level of the group 10 miles for the base loop, 14 miles with the optional loop around Greenlake at the end.

Difficulty: Easy The loop starts with a downhill, and take sections of bike path before returning to Greenlake over a gradual hill (Stone way) with a bike lane.

Equipment: Both Front and Tail Flashing lights are required. Although we should be back before complete darkness. We ride in the city and want to be highly visible to traffic.

Cancellation: Rain Cancels.
The decision will be up to the group or ride leader in case of a very light drizzle, but as a general rule, we will cancel if the road is really wet and/or if it rains. Bring your running shoes though, the lake is right there, and a walk or jog around could be another (non-guided) enjoyable social get together.

Cue-Sheets or Maps Available: Not at the start, but you can view and print our online maps
