Event has already happened.

The route starts at the East Lake Sammamish River trail head parking lot in Redmond, behind Whole Foods Market. From Redmond Way head east bound on NE 70thStreet about 500 ft., cross the bike trail and enter the narrow parking lot on the east side of NE 70thStreet. There are usually portable toilet facilities, but I have not checked recently. Free parking.

The route heads west through Kirkland and Lake Washington then north to Juanita, Woodinville, then east towards Cottage Lake, Novelty Hill and back to Marymoor Park.  There are numerous hills along the route. The ride leader may alter the course slightly due to unforeseen road or weather conditions. Showers, snow and ice cancels.

One short stop about mid-course. Bring water, extra tubes, food. Be ready to depart at 10:00 am.  Not cue sheets provided. Download the route on RidewithGPS.com and print cue sheets if desired.

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.
Terrain
Some Hills

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
