(Sixty) Seven Hills of Seattle Time Trial
In celebration of bikes, beer, recreational cannabis, friends and family, another trip around the sun, the arrival of spring, just because, why not, and perhaps, above all, because life goes up, life goes down, life goes all around, 327 Words proudly presents the The (Sixty) Seven Hills of Seattle, an alleycat-style bike race featuring plenty of rising, falling, and going forward by heading backwards beginning at 2020 Cycle at 21st and Union in Seattle, WA on Saturday, March 30 at 3:27 sharp, signups commencing around 2:30 or so.
Riders, following the traditional group time trial format, will pack together 67 years of shenanigans into far less than 67 miles of"racing, in order to visit the six extant hilltops along with the one that was sluiced into the Sound back before environmental regulations existed.
Enjoy this rolling party of ascent and descent and note that even if your legs get tired, there are still other--and higher--ridges in Seattle not taken on, this route leaving out those westernmost destinations not included in the original count.
Race happens, rain, shine, or sun, no crying or fatal crashes allowed. Ten bucks suggested donation, (includes a $2.00 donation to Planned Parenthood) with free shot glasses for the first 67 riders.
Prizes—cash and bike schwag—to be awarded for fastest times, men’s and ladies’ divisions, as well as runner-up positions, including, of course, DFL.
