Lake Sammamish is a popular exercise route for cyclists. The route circles Lake Sammamish with some nice views of the lake. Start at Marymoor Park's East parking lot near the East entrance off of NE 65th St. Parking is free in this lot ONLY. Restrooms are available nearby. We start out riding through the park to the West entrance and follow the West Lake Sammamish Parkway on the road to Issaquah. After the coffee break, we will locate the East Lake Sammamish Trail (paved) and follow it back to Marymoor Park. There may be closed portions of the trail for construction. In that case, we will safely head up to the paved road above the trail and cycle in the bike lane.

Arrive at 10:00 AM to ready your bike and listen to the safety briefing, important route information, and rider introductions. Have all the necessary tools to fix a flat tire: patch kit, spare tube and pump. We roll shortly after the safety briefing.

There will be a food break mid ride in Issaquah. Please bring money or credit card if you wish to purchase something to eat or drink. Carry snack food and water bottle with you at all times. Helmets are required! Dress according to the weather in layers that can be added or removed. New riders are welcome!

In case of inclement weather look for a message from the Ride Leader in the ‘comments section’ of this ride. The ride may be cancelled 2 hours prior and the ride leader will not appear at the ride start.

Online registration is required. If you have a Cascade account you may register online by selecting the 'register now' button. Please 'unregister' if you change your mind to let others join the ride.

Temperatures over 80° will cancel the ride. Hope to see you there!

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
