7 Hills of KirklandMonday Memorial Day
Come enjoy riding one of the Northwest's premier cycling events. Whether you choose the traditional 7 Hill Route (approximately 40 miles), the popular Metric Century Route, or the challenging Century Route, you'll enjoy the scenery and support KITH. Travel at your own pace through urban, suburban and rural roads on a holiday when cyclists seem to outnumber vehicles. Follow the signs and "Dan Henry's" to great food stops, challenging ascents and wonderful descents. Climb Winery Hill and be rejuvenated by the applause of your own cheering section and the lovely strains of a bagpiper. All of this for such a great cause. Cycling for a Cause -- to Benefit KITH7 Hills of Kirkland is a fund raiser for Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing (KITH).
