This ride starts at the East Lake Sammamish Trail Head in Redmond.   Please see the attached map for directions and location.   There are no restrooms at the start, but we will stop at Marymoor Park for restrooms and water (mile 2.5).  The route goes through Marymoor Park, south on West Lake Sammamish, climbs Newport Hill and follow Lake Washington Blvd to Coal Creek Parkway for our first rest stop at Lake Boren Park (mile 21). We'll continue east on the May Valley Road  across the valley to the Issaquah-Hobart road and ride north into Issaquah and a rest stop at Starbucks (mile 34).  From there the route continues on East Lake Sammamish Trail northbound to return to the start.

Let's meet at the East Lake Sammamish Trail Head and please be ready to ride at 9:00am, arriving at least 20 minutes early so that you can get yourself prepared.  We will start with a required safety briefing and ride announcements, and roll out when that's done.  If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.
