Seattle Pacific Univ. 520 Bridge Loop

We will ride the new 520 Bridge Bicycle Path with a twist on the Classic Lake Washington Loop.  We'll start with a nice spin on the Burke Gilman trail towards U-District where we turn off onto the new 520 Bridge Trail to Bellevue, then we head south to Renton with a stop at Gene Coulon Park.  Then we head over to Seward Park, on to Leschi and finally ride through the Washington Arboretum and back to the U District for our return.

Rest Stops:  There will be a bathroom stop at Gene Coulon Park (about mile 20). We will either have a milkshake at the Kidd Valley while in Gene Coulon Park or make a coffee stop at the Starbucks in Leschi (about mile 31),depending on the group's preference.

Please make sure to bring a printed cue sheet or download the route into your Garmin or phone. You should come prepared to repair any flats or mechanicals on your own; but we will stand by and watch (some may even help).  

Registration: Please register on this website by clicking the Red REGISTER NOW button above (you need to have or create an account, but it is free).  Registering ahead saves us time at the start and helps to make sure we can actually read your emergency contact number. Please arrive 20 minutes early to hear the safety briefing, sign the waiver (or check your name of the preregistered list) and to ensure you are ready to ride on time.

Cancellation: If there is a need to cancel, I will post that at least 2 hours before the ride start in the Comments section below.
