Full Lake Washington Loop

Join us for a ride from Renton on a 50 mile route at steady pace (12 to 14 MPH)!  

We'll ride around Lake Washington in a clockwise direction, with the lake on our right.  We will pass through the Rainier Beach, Seward Park, Leschi, University, Bothell, Kirkland, and Bellevue neighborhoods, before returning to Renton.  We will be following the Cascade Training Series Route.

Let's meet at the Renton Old City Hall and please be ready to ride at 10am.  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 available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at miles 11.8 (Madrona Park), 28.9 (Blyth Park), 38.4 (Hidden Valley Park) and 47.5 (Coulon Park).  We’ll also stop for coffee/snacks at Kenmore Starbucks.

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.

We hope you can join us!
