Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You probably have routes that go through Myrtle Edwards Park. Best to ride alternates until a couple days after the event finishes. Don't even try to drive through Queen Anne.

I'm guessing it's this weekend, there are a bunch of tents up, blocking sight lines. Bundles of cables across the trail, trucks driving on the trail, etc. It looks like things are going up not coming down.

Yeah there's been construction going on for a year. But the detour takes you through the park, where the crowds are.

It's part of my lunch loop, I just got back. I'll probably ride south towards Seward Park instead for the next several days.
