N’gate Mall to Greenlake Ride Sunday, June 13, 1 p.m.

THIS RIDE’S FOR YOU!
NORTH SEATTLEITES – “EASY” CYCLISTS – COMMUTERS – ICE CREAM LOVERS!

Your neighbor and Cascade-certified ride leader, League of American Bicyclists LCI (League-Certified Instructor), and North Seattle Spokespeople and Easy Riders bicycle clubs Spokes Person (yours truly) is running this ride to show North Enders a good back route to Green Lake.

Ride description: Pedal an easy Northgate-to-Greenlake route with this supportive group to earn your self-host Ben & Jerry’s ice cream or slice of Zeke’s pizza.

Good to know:

• We’ll begin with helmet and bicycle checks.
• The pace is 8-10 mph maximum on the flat; slower going up hills. Faster riders can wait up top.
• The hills are few and fairly easy, and we’ll wait at the top for sightseers and walkers.
• Contact leader beforehand with concerns of any kind.

Commuters: This route is a precursor to one of the safest routes to downtown.

Children: Contact leader beforehand to discuss bringing children. We’re riding urban roads, and children need to have specific cycling skills.

SPOKESPEOPLE NORTH is sister to Spokespeople (http://spokespeople.us) and to West Seattle Spokespeople, linking Seattle neighborhoods by safest and easiest routes, and helping riders gain confidence and urban riding skills.

ADDITIONAL START INFO: Enter the south end of Northgate Mall from NE 103d Street, and look to your right for a ratty blue Subaru wagon and a short woman in Cascade Ride Leader garb. See the route map (URL) for approximate location or call if you get lost.
