From Ron Regis Park we ride on the Cedar River Trail which gradually climbs (2-3%) up to picturesque Dorre Don. After a photo-op on an old Rail Road bridge, we ride on hard-packed gravel for 0.2 miles. The early lunch stop is at S'wiched. Check the link below for the S'wiched menu. After lunch, there is another section of packed gravel (0.2 miles) on the route through forest neighborhoods over to Lake Meridian. The Soos Creek Trail is a peaceful meandering paved trail that courses through natural wetlands for 5 miles back to Renton. There is a short pitch up a 10% grade for 100 yards but we will wait for everyone at the top. Just before the end, there is a 10% descent for 1 mile down 140th Ave.
What to bring: Supplies and tools to fix a flat, cell phone in case you cannot finish, 2 water bottles, pocket snacks, money for lunch.
Start: Arrive in time to prepare your bike, use the restroom, and hear the route review and SMART safety briefing at 9:50 am so we can depart at 10:00 am.
Restrooms: Start, Lunch at S'wiched (mile 13.3), Soos Creek Trail (mile 28.8)
Cancellation: In the event of showers or unsafe conditions, the ride leader will not be at the start but will post a cancellation notice in the Comments section below by 8:00 am on the day of the ride.

Would it be a problem to ride
Would it be a problem to ride on the packed gravel with road tires ~26 mm wide, 110 PSI?
Gravel section
Most of the gravel sections are well packed so you should be fine with your narrow tires. There is a cut-through from the gravel trail to the street that might be a problem, but you could walk that short distance and we would wait for you on the street.
