50 miler Bike Ride, September 14th 2008


Craig Funcke ASM Troop 626, led a 50 mile bike, the capstone ride required for the cycling merit badge. Craig had a great idea that we go on the Cascade Bicycle Club's annual event in Seattle called the Cascade Spawning Cycle, loosely based on the spawning route of salmon, with environmental awareness and family fun as the theme.

It was great fun! We started at Myrtle Edwards Park in Seattle and headed south on the route setup by the Cascade Bicycle Club. The route took us to Alki Beach, through West Seattle, back next to the Seahawks stadium where a carnival atmosphere of pregame revelry was occurring and we had hot dogs, then over the hill and over to Seward park, then back to Myrtle Ewards Park . A lot of riding to do but a lot of fun!
