Here's some wise words from the Executive Director of the Bicycle Alliance of Washington, the group that does so much to make sure that the Tour de Fat in Seattle goes off without a hitch, and is thanked foRead more

This Saturday, we mark a momentous occasion in Tour de Fat history. For the first time ever, we get to host our little soiree in a city park! Not just any park either, we are talking about one of the coolest spots in the town, GasWorks. This Ex-power plant/refinery will now be home to our festival supporting the power of pedal. Talk about sweet justice. It's slow, but it is awesome. more to come on that.

We are looking to have a great parade...longer than usual, but great if you got the legs. We'll be leaving Gasworks @ 10am out to Golden Gardens and back. We don't have Police support to escort us, so we'll have to ride safe, and keep it clean so they'll let us do it again.

Ride West via Burke-Gilman to NW 45 Ave.
Take Ballard Ave NW to NW Market St.
NW Market to Seattle Ave. NW.

Recollect Riders at Golden gardens, then turn around and return to Gas Works Park.Families or Riders who need to cut route short will have the ability at the western end of Burke Gilman Trail.

Once you are back, we'll have a great show. Come in costume, and be prepared to worship solar rays, and human ways...to get around and get down.

I can't forget mention the raddest downhill race on the earth is the night before, so we got that going for us.

So join us or go watch the Blue Angels roast through tax dollars and jet fuel, before the really fast boats do the same...at Sea Fair!

The time is now for you to make a choice...we wont have deep fried twinkies, but beer is almost as good.
