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 will be on hard-packed gravel for 0.2 miles. The early lunch stop (about 11:30 am) is at S'wiched. Check the link below for the S'wiched menu. Then it's through forest neighborhoods over to Lake Meridian. The Soos Creek Trail is a paved trail that winds 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.

Start: Let's meet in the parking lot of Ron Regis Park at 10:00 am for the pre-ride safety briefing and route review. We will depart after the briefing. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: If you are not present and ready at 10:00 am when we start the safety briefing, you will not be allowed to participate.

What to bring: Supplies and tools to fix a flat, cell phone in case you cannot finish, water bottles, pocket snacks, money for lunch.
