Around Mercer Island to Beacon Hill

Join us for a ride from Newport Hills Park and Ride on a 34 mile route at a moderate pace (14-16 MPH)!

We will ride around Mercer Island and across the I-90 Bridge before climbing up a residential street to the top of Beacon Hill.  We'll stop for refreshments before heading back towards Renton and around Lake Washington.

Let's meet at the Newport Hills Park and Ride at 9:30 for our pre-ride safety briefing.  If you are not present for the briefing, you will not be able to join the ride.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to regroup frequently. 

Restrooms not available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at the 2 1/2 mile mark. 

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

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.

We hope you can join us!
