Eastside Urban Loop from Marymoor

This steady ride starts with the gently rolling terrain on the west side of Lake Sammamish and then gradually climbs Newport Way for about 3 miles. We will ride the bike route along SE 36th Street to the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trail. Our first rest stop will be at Enatai Beach Park. We then ride through Beaux Arts Village with it's beautiful trees and well manicured lawns. We will ride through downtown Bellevue then through Medina before hopping onto the 520 Bike Trail to Lake Washington Blvd. We have a couple of small climbs before reaching the Burke Gillman Trail at the Wayne Golf Course. From there it's just a short flat ride back to Redmond and Marymoor using local roads.

Riders should bring water, a spare tube, tools and the know-how to fix a flat. There will be no food stops on this ride so bring your own food for the ride.

Please arrive 20 minutes before the start time for the required safety briefing so we can roll promptly at 10:00 a.m. Steady rain cancels the ride.
