Seattle area training hills

[teigyr]

Thank you, everybody!

I braved the rain last sunday but it was on a bike trail. I look forward to this weekend so I can try out some of these routes, they are appreciated more than you can imagine. It took me a long time in California to figure out good training rides but I had just started riding so the rides developed as I did. Now I'm impatient!!!

I know you're looking for some routes that have specific attributes, not just hill climbs, but the Cascade Bike Club newspaper used to have a monthly favorite hill route featured. I don't live in Seattle anymore and I am no longer a member...don't know if they still do this.

You might consider doing some of their group rides, whichever is the right pace for you, as a way to find new routes with groups of people who already know their way.

Also, when I lived there, I found a good riding buddy through CBC's online forum.
