TREATS: Mercer Island Clockwise and Counter

Enjoy the bucolic curves around Mercer Island.  We'll start in the south parking lot at Renton Memorial Stadium (no restrooms).  There will be a restroom and water stop at Coulon Park after 2 miles.  We'll continue north on the Lake Washington Bike Loop Trail up to the Mercer Slough Nature Park. There is an optional rest stop at Enatai Beach Park if necessary. Bike across the East Channel on the I-90 Bike Lane and regroup.  First time around we cruise Mercer Island clockwise.  Stop for lunch at Homegrown Sustainable Sandwiches (Menu link below). Then it's back around the Island loop counter-clockwise to the I-90 trail and down the east side of Lake Washington to the start. We will start each Mercer Island loop together but climb and coast the curvaceous rollers in our own comfort zone.  

Restrooms: Gene Coulon Park (2 miles), Aubrey Davis Park (20), Lunch (21), Gene Coulon Park (40)
