Bikes and Birds: A cycling avian adventure for artists!

Looking to get a few cycling miles in and discover one of the great nature areas of Seattle? This ride is specifically for lovers of all things cycling, nature, and especially for bird watching!!! This is also a lovely ride for those seeking to do some plein-air watercolors, wildlife and nature sketching, photography and a bit of gravel!

As usual we will start our ride at Electric & Folding Bikes NW in Ballard. From there we will proceed along the Burke trail to the Union Bay Natural Area where we will be welcomed by many opportunities to observe some wonderful marsh habitat and its denizens. While drawing and painting are not required you will be sure to be inspired to take some photos!

Our ride leader Tim is an MFA candidate at Cranbrook Academy of Art and is happy to provide some pointers to get your sketches going.
