Event has already happened.

Let's meet at Newport Hills Park and Ride and please be ready to ride at 2:30pm.  We will start with a required safety briefing and roll out what that's done.  If you miss the briefing, you will not be able to ride with the group.

We'll ride around the southern part of Lake Washington and across Mercer Island. Quick stop at Gene Coulon Park (Mile 3.8) for a quick bathroom break.  There will be a quick coffee stop at Starbucks on Mercer Island for coffee.  The pace will be moderate (14-16mph). 

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.

If wet weather, please be courteous to other riders by having fenders on your bike (preferably extra long with a buddy/mud flap).

There is no water or bathroom at the start.

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
Rolling

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
