Renton-Mercer Island-Madison Park Coffee Ride

Join us for a social 42-mile ride at a steady pace (12-14 mph) from Burnett Linear Park in Downtown Renton to Mercer Island and onto Madison Park's Starbucks for coffee.  The route is along Lake Washington Blvd to Mercer Island.  We will do a 10-mile loop around the island, then cross the I-90 bridge and onto Starbucks at Madison Park (mile 26) for a coffee and pastry break.  We’ll return along Lake Washington Blvd to Seward Park and Rainier Ave S.  There are hills, but we climb them at our own pace and always regroup at the top. The ride will take about 4.5 hours including the coffee break.  Restrooms are not available at the start, but we will stop at Gene Coulon Park (mile 2.5) for restrooms and water.

Let's meet at Burnett Linear Park and please be ready to ride at 9:00 AM. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.  Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. 

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.
