Ride Contact
Event has already happened.
Join members of Cascade's High Performance Cycling (aka "HPC") team on an 18-mile ride around Mercer Island. We start from Sam Smith Park and roll at a brisk pace, 16-18mph on the flats. The ride around Mercer Island has rolling hills, and a lush tree-lined roadway with glimpses of Lake Washington along the way.
This ride is intended for cyclists who can comfortably ride at least 18mph on flat terrain, and is intended to be an active recovery ride to help you keep your legs fresh after a weekend of harder activity.
Meet at the west side of the I-90 Bike Tunnel in Sam Smith Park and please be ready to ride at 6:30PM. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done. If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.
Our goal will be to stay together. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).
Restrooms are available at the start. We will not stop during this ride.
Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case.
Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.
We hope you can join us!
