This weekend, on Saturday, May 26, the Ballard Health Club (BHC) will host a bike ride for club members and friends. Jade Dahle, a BHC manager and trainer, says it is part of their monthly BHC Club Ride. The ride starts at BikeSport (5601 24th Ave NW) at 12 p.m.

The club is teaming up with BikeSport to put together the ride. Dahle says the ride, “falls somewhere between BikeSport’s ‘coffee ride’ and ‘training ride’ and is tailored to those that participate.” She says that last month was the inaugural ride, and the ride went mostly along the Burke Gilman Trail to Matthew’s Beach and back. The ride is about two hours long, and Dahle says they maintain a pace of about 12-14 mph on average.
