Seattle Pastry Ride_WSea to 3Tree_Brisk_39 mi, 2900'


Details
Pastries anyone? Come for this tour of West Seattle down through Burien to the spectacular descent to Three Tree Point (and check out some goblins in waiting). Then after our climb back to the village of West Seattle, we'll have a stop at mp 30 for Pastries and Coffee at the famous Bakery Nouveau. Our last 9 miles will travel through residential areas with some nice vistas, followed by one last (optional) climb. This will be a social stay together ride with waits at the top of hills and all critical turns along with photo op stops along the way.
