I took the Hunqapillar out on a 19-miler today to get some biking in the New Year. It was a beautiful, warmish day with nice light. The route I’m starting to make into a training ride takes me on a loop through some of the more scenic parts of north Seattle.

I start the ride from Maple Leaf and make my way through the U of W campus. I use trails through Fremont and lower Magnolia to the Ballard Locks. There was little activity there, so it was a breeze to cross over to the north side of the canal.
I picked up the trail to Golden Gardens. At that point the climbing starts with a nice quick rise to Crown Hill. Several ridges take be back through Greenwood to Maple Leaf.

Seattle Bike Commute in November, a set on Flickr.

I took a few photos on my early November bike commute to get a feel for what my ride looks like. It wasn’t too busy, but it gave me a sense of how hard it is to photo a ride in the city chaos. This was over 2 days riding two different bikes and routes. Enjoy!
