Circuit - Start to Finish
The Climb For Clothes 2009 circuit will begin at the Connector Park and Ride on the corner of NW 85th Street and 25th Avenue NW.
The first leg of the circuit travels west on NW 85th Street to 31st Avenue NW.
Then down 31st - all the way down to NW 96th Street - what a great view of the bay!
We'll travel east on 96th to 28th Avenue NW and then head north - for just a block.
The route turns west onto Golden Avenue which ends back at 31st Avenue NW.
31st (and us) climbs up the hill - changing names several times until, at the top, we turn east onto Loyal Avenue NW.
Loyal Avenue merges with 32nd Avenue NW - and up we go some more.
At the top of this hill turn east onto NW 85th Street and walk back to the park and ride.

Climb for Clothes 2009
Planning to go shopping the day after Christmas – with everyone else? Or, are you thinking about napping in front of the TV – like you’ve done the past couple of Christmases?
What if this year, you – and your whole family – got up the day after Christmas and did something that was good for your body and good for your heart. Join us for a hike.
Yes, it will be a bit of a hike (sea level to 400 feet in elevation over 2 miles) but what better way to get your blood pumping? All money donates will to toward buying clothes for Amara Parenting.
So the better shape you’re in, the more your efforts will add to the joy of the season for someone who could use a little more warmth in their lives.
