From Ron Regis Park take the Cedar River Trail up to picturesque Dorre Don. After a photo-op on an old Rail Road bridge, we will be on hard-packed gravel for 0.2 miles. The early lunch stop (about 11:30 am) is at S'wiched. Check the link below for the S'wiched menu.  Then it's through forest neighborhoods over to Lake Meridian. The Soos Creek Trail is a paved trail that winds through natural wetlands for 5 miles back to Renton. There is a short pitch up a 10% grade for 100 yards but we will wait for everyone at the top.  Just before the end, there is a 10% descent for 1 mile down 140th Ave.
