There will be an optional get-together at the establishment of our choice after the ride.

Ride Description:  A training ride from West Seattle, scheduled for evenings during the spring, summer and fall, 'between the vernal and autumnal equinox'. There are no cue sheets, we regroup often at major turns in the routes, so not to leave someone behind lost in a neighborhood that they maybe unfamiliar with. We do not ride pacelines and we are not a stay together ride either, however we all do ride at a similar pace and therefore we do stay together most of the time. Most of the riders who ride know the routes and are welcome to go off the front and have as much fun as they care to.  Be prepared to handle your minor mechanical problems, flat tires etc. Lights are recommended but not required.  We will try to  finish before dark. Bring sufficient drinks and extra food for a two to three hour ride.
