Seward Park bike ride
This is one from 2 weeks or so ago I’m just getting around to posting. Well, I started with the GPS turned off accidentally, so I ended up missing the first mile or so of the ride on the map. Whoops! I tried a different route and discovered how darn hilly Seattle can be!
This time I went down to Seward Park, around through the park (accidentally up and over the top of the hill — I had meant to go out and around along the water but got shunted a different way due to a race going on at the park). Then I biked back along Lk Washington Blvd and split along the water up to the end of Madison. Back up Madison (note to self, next time try following Lk Washington blvd to shortcut the big hills on Madison!) to MLK and then up MLK to Jackson and home.
Whew! It was a fairly short bike ride, as such things go.. only 15 miles (+ about 1.5 miles for my GPS-off mistake). But it was hilly enough that it still took me 1:34 to do it (I’ve been doing nearly 20 miles in that amount of time on my Ballard loop).
