Free Group Ride
Eastside Loop, a Social Ride for New and Returning Riders
Event has already happened.
New to bicycling, been off your bike for a while, or just need a recovery ride? New to Cascade or Group riding? Make this your opportunity to get on the bike and enjoy the Spingtime colors. This is a social ride along a variety of trails and roads with experienced ride leaders. There are some climbs, but we climb at our own pace and regroup at the top of all hills to give you a chance to recover.
We will start and finish at the Chainline Brewing Company in Kirkland, next door to the new Google Campus and on the Cross Kirkland Corridor. The route takes us down to Lake Washington Boulevard, thru downtown Kirkland, over to Bothell to pick up the Sammamish River trail to Redmond and returns via Old Redmond Road. After the ride join us at the Chainline Brewing Company for refreshments and more conversations about biking.
We will not have a food stop on the route but there will be a water/restroom stop along the way with time to eat whatever snacks you bring.
Please park at the south end of the parking lot. Arrive at least 20 minutes before ride start to get ready to ride and sign the waiver. Please register for this ride using the Register Tab. If your name is on the online waiver registration you will not need to sign at the ride start.
There are no restrooms at the start but we will stop at Marina Park at mile one.
Please download the route or print the cue sheet. All riders should come equipped to deal with their own mechanical problems and with necessary water/food.
Showers or more severe weather will cancel the ride. Ride cancellation will be announced in the comments section at least two hours before start time and the ride leaders will not be at the start.
