SUNDAY PREVIEW: Hundreds of bicyclists to pedal through West Seattle, White Center, beyond on Ride for Major Taylor

Heads-up to expect more bicyclists on West Seattle and White Center streets tomorrow (Sunday, April 13) – Cascade Bicycle Club‘s annual Ride for Major Taylor starts on the White Center Bicycle Playground 7 am-8:30 am and will take hundreds of riders on one of two courses – either circumnavigating our peninsula via its waterfront streets (with an Alki rest stop), or (updated) a White Center/Tacoma/Vashon/West Seattle route. You can see the route maps (26 miles or 62 miles) by going here. If you’re not registered, unfortunately, it’s too late – no same-day signups, according to Cascade, which explains that the ride honors “the legacy of Marshall ‘Major’ Taylor, the Black World Cycling Champion … as a fundraiser for Cascade Bicycle Club’s education and advocacy programs, including funding for snacks at after-school Major Taylor Project Clubs as well as support for Major Taylor Project students’ participation in the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic.”

    Well, maybe one of them got lucky and found the brand new Water Bottle that I just had overnight delivered tonight from Amazon for my ride today. That I conveniently got bounced off my bike without me noticing It was already to go filled with ice and unsweetened tea…lolLike I told a friend: The trail giveth and the trail taketh
