Bainbride Island via the Virginia V
Members load their bicycles on the Virginia V at Lake Union's Historic
Ships Wharf for a ride to Bainbridge Island for a little cycling.
|
After loading bicycles and passengers, the Virginia V sails
to Puget Sound via the Fremont Ship Canal and the Ballard Locks.
|
On most club rides, cyclists have to wait for bridges to close.
Today bridges open to let us go by.
|
In the Ballard Locks, we have to tie up for a bit to allow
boats to line up before gates are shut and water is lowered.
|
Out of the locks, though, the Virginia V travels quickly
to Bainbridge Island where members walk the plank to unload.
|
To save time and get home early many of the cyclists took
the regular ferry to Downtown Seattle and biked back to our start.
|
This leg of the journey we had to wait for one of the bridges
to close before we could get to our destination.
