Join us on a 35.20 mile route from Renton to Issaquah on a  loop that returns via Lake Washington BLVD at Moderate (14-16 MPH)!

Let's meet at 200 Mill Ave. (Renton Old City Hall) at 8:00 AM for our pre-ride safety briefing, we will depart afterwards. If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.   The pace of this ride is based on having no wind and being on a flat road. If there is a headwind or a hill, the pace will be lower, if we have a tailwind or downhill, the pace may be higher. Due to the number of similar routes I ride version numbers are used, versions of the same ride may have very different elevation profiles, keep this in mind when deciding to do this ride.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and 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 not available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water, Please see the stop list below; 

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

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. This will be a mentoring ride for Steven, come on out so we can get him started right! Please note the early start time, so we can avoid the heat.

We hope you can join us!
