CTS Yellow #3: Eastside Urban Loop

This CTS ride starts from the Bothell Park and Ride. **NOTE** There are no restrooms or water at the start!   Plan accordingly. The first Rest Stop will be at mile 10.  

We start with a nice long fairly flat ride through the winery area of Woodinville (unfortunately no time to have a glass of wine!) and along the Sammamish River trail. Our First Rest Stop is at Marymoor Park (mile 10). We then ride along the west side of Lake Sammamish and make a right turn onto Newport Way to begin our first long climb of the day. We coast down into Factoria, through the slough, to Enatai Beach Park (mile 25) for our 2nd Rest Stop.  We'll ride through Beaux Arts district, along urban Bellevue streets and Medina.  We'll take the 520 trail down to Lake Washington Blvd and into downtown Kirkland.  From there we climb Market Street hill, 100th Ave and have a grand downhill on Waynita Way. At the old Wayne Golf Course you may need to dismount and walk across the gravel parking lot. A short stretch along the Burke-Gilman Trail takes us to the Third Rest Stop at Blyth Park (mile 40).  From there it is a quick hop on Riverside Dr. to the Bothell Park and Ride where we can celebrate our achievement for the day!
