South Lake Loop from Enatai

Join us for a ride from Enatai Beach Park on a 24 mile route at a Steady pace (12-14mph)!

Let's meet at 10:00 AM, and please be ready to ride at that time. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done. There is ample parking and restrooms available at the Enatai Beach Park.

Note: If you do not arrive in time at 10:00 AM for the safety briefing you will not be allowed to ride.

The Route

We will ride along Lake Washington with great views of the water. We will make a quick restroom stop at Gene Coulon Park (mile 7) before heading through Renton Airport, where we can catch glimpses of 737 airplanes from all kinds of airlines around the world straight out of the assembly line. Once we get to Seattle there is some climbing before a nice coffee stop at Caffe Vitta in Lakewood (mile 15). We will then descent to ride along Lake Washington Boulevard and climb up to take the I-90 bridge, stopping for a great picture spot before getting on the trail. After a quick jaunt through Mercer Island, we will be back at the start.

Pace is 12-14mph on the flats. We will climb and descend hills at our own pace and regroup at the top of hills. This is a great ride for beginners looking for a bit more  challenge on a fun social ride.

Final Words

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.

Ride leader mentoring is available for this ride! Feel free to contact the ride leader if you are interested.

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

We hope you can join us!
