Observations & Notes Route Warning: Avoid Pike Street and Broadway on Saturday nights. High density of rental scooters and bikes ignoring traffic laws. Forced emergency braking due to riders cutting in and stopping abruptly. Route Logistics: A comprehensive "node" ride covering major elevation changes in the first half (Max Grade 9.9%). Elevation Profile: The ride was perfectly split; the first 12 miles contained nearly all of the 1,207 ft of climbing, while the final 11 miles were almost entirely flat at water level. Bike Performance: The ST7 handled the varied terrain of Beacon Hill and the industrial SODO sections smoothly.
