Renton to Madison Park Coffee Ride

Come join us on a 33-mile ride from Old City Hall in downtown Renton to Madison Park's Starbucks for coffee. We’ll ride along Lake Washington Blvd N, across Mercer Island, crossing the I-90 bridge and onto Madison Park (mile 19).  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 3 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.
