CTS Red #12: Full Lake Loop and Post Ride Celebration

We end our CTS series with the classic Full Lake Loop (50 miles, 1800 ft of elevation gain). We have completed this route previously so this will be a great opportunity for you to compare on how much stronger you have become! We start at Magnuson Park W-6 Parking Lot and warm up quickly riding north along the lake. We ride the Burke Gilman Trail to Bothell, where we begin riding south along the lake going through Kirkland to Bellevue. We have a rest stop and chance to refill our water bottles at Marsh Park just south of downtown Kirkland. Then we continue south through Bellevue to Renton. After a stop at Gene Coulon Park, we ride around the south end of the lake, and head back north along Rainier Avenue. After a final rest stop at Madrona Park we continue on the familiar route back to Magnuson Park.

As always, you should pack water and snacks, print a cue sheet and have everything you need with you to fix a flat or other mechanical issue. Plan to arrive at least 20 minutes early so that you can get yourself ready. The SMART briefing and ride announcements will start at 9:00am, and we will roll out when that is done. Riders not present for the safety briefing will not be allowed to ride with the group.  

Please review the Comments Section before the morning of the ride for any final updates. Route may be updated there as well as weather updates and cancellations.
