FRIDAY RIDERS: Marymoor Park - Lake Sammamish - East Lake Sammamish Trail

Lake Sammamish is a popular exercise route for cyclists. The route circles Lake Sammamish with some nice views of the lake. Start at Marymoor Park near the West entrance at parking lot K (by the tennis courts). Parking is $1 and it is strictly enforced. Look for a pay station in the parking lot. There is a $35 fine for non-compliance. Bring a dollar bill or coins for the pay station. Restrooms are available near the kids playground. We start out following the West Lake Sammamish Parkway on the road to Issaquah. After the coffee break, we will locate the new East Lake Sammamish Trail (paved) and follow it back to Marymoor Park. There may be unpaved portions of the trail. In that case, we will safely head up to the paved road above the trail and cycle in the bike lane.

Arrive between 9:30 – 9:45 AM to ready your bike and listen to the safety briefing, important route information, and rider introductions. Have all the necessary tools to fix a flat tire: patch kit, spare tube and pump. We roll at 10 AM.

There will be a Tully’s Coffee break mid ride in Issaquah. Please bring money or credit card if you wish to purchase something to eat or drink. Carry snack food and water bottle with you at all times. Helmets are required! Dress according to the weather in layers that can be added or removed. New riders are welcome!

In case of inclement weather, look for a message from the Ride Leader in the ‘comments section’ of this ride. The ride may be cancelled 2 hours prior and the ride leader will not appear at the ride start. Online registration is available and encouraged.
