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.

This is a nice morning ride through Bellevue, Bridle Trails and eventually down to Kirkland where we get our coffee at Carillon Point Starbucks before winding our way back to Renton.

Let's meet at the Old Renton City Hall (200 Mill) and please be ready to ride at 9:45. 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.

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 at miles, Please see the stop list below; 

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 cancelation 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. Mentoring is available for prospective Ride Leaders with advance notice.

We hope you can join us!
