FRUMPS: Eastside Urban Loop

Join us for a fun ride around Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Woodinville. We'll start at Enatai Park, and ride along the waterfront into Bellevue. After riding past the gated mansions of Medina, we’ll reach busy, downtown Kirkland before climbing Market Street hill, 100th Ave and Waynita Way. At the Wayne Golf Course be prepared to dismount and walk across their graveled parking lot. A short stretch along the Burke-Gilman Trail brings us to the first rest stop, Blythe Park in Bothell. From there, the ride is pan-flat along Riverside Dr., Woodinville Dr. and Woodinville-Redmond Rd. For about 2 miles, we’ll be on the Sammamish River Trail, so please be very cautious and courteous, as there may be many non-cyclists using it. Remember: they have priority over cyclists! We will ride south along Willows Rd, bypassing downtown Redmond before reaching Marymoor Park for our second rest stop. Our route continues the relatively flat west side of Lake Sammamish and then gradually climbs Newport Way for about 3 miles before making a long, winding descent to Lake Washington Blvd. We’ll then cross Mercer Slough and return to Enatai Park.
