Renton-Mercer Island-Madison Park Coffee Ride

Come join us on relaxed 42-mile ride from Burnett Linear Park in downtown Renton to Madison Parks’ Starbucks for coffee. We’ll ride along Lake Washington Blvd N to Mercer Island for a 10-mile loop around the island and across I-90 bridge onto Madison Park (mile 24).  We’ll return along Lake Washington Blvd S to Seward Park and Rainier Ave S.   We'll ride at about 12.5 to 13 mph on the flats when there is no wind.  We will climb and descend hills at our own pace and regroup as needed.  The ride will take about 4.5 hours including the 20-minute coffee break.  A GPS route map and cue sheet are at the Link, below.  Please be ready to ride at 9:30 AM when we will do the safety briefing and get on the road. 

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:  If you are not present and ready when we start the safety briefing, you will not be allowed to participate. 

Water and restroom stop at Coulon Park (mile 2.5).

Please bring: ID, tools and spare tube(s) to fix flats, and phone.
