    It was 100 years ago that Seward Park became a Seattle City Park. This June 5th we encourage you to join us in taking part in a casual bike ride to celebrate it’s centennial!

    Meet at Denny Park at 11am for our Tweed Ride back in time. We’ll follow portions of the city’s first bike path – the Cotterill Bike Path – to Seward Park where we’ll enjoy snacks and beverages provided by sponsors.

    Dress in your finest tweed in recognition of this historic occasion. Ride whatever bike you like, but vintage is also encouraged. The ride will be approximately 14 miles one way. The group will ride together and regroup as necessary. Please ride safely, donning a helmet and following laws pertaining to cyclists.

    See you there!
