The weather couldn't be better and the members come out
in force for one of the club's Spanish Flair Rides.
|
This week's ride starts from Gasworks Park and heads to Magnolia
via Fremont on the Burke Gilman Trail and through the Ballard Locks.
|
After the locks the ride circles clockwise around Magnolia
and travels along the Magnolia Cliffs above scenic Puget Sound.
|
Going through Discovery Park, members take a side route down
to the lighthouse and back up again to check out the beach.
|
On the way back up members cut over to the Indian Cultural Center
and unbelievable views of the Sound below.
|
At the center, riders take a moment to check out the artwork inside
and to laze outside to enjoy the uncommon sunshine of the day.
|
Day's like today are not common in the northwest
and you don't want to waste a moment enjoying it.
|
From the center everyone continues back to the locks taking
them to Ballard and our next section of the route.
|
After a short stop in the locks to view the boats
riders continue on to the other side.
|
The next loop through Ballard still has a missing section, washed out
this past winter, but with a little work all made it through.
|
The end of the final loop took all to La Isla in downtown Ballard
for a little nourishment and socializing.
|
Then after a few final photos, all return to Gasworks Park
and the end of today's ride.
