TREATS: Mercer Island Clockwise and Counter

Enjoy the curves around Mercer Island.  We'll start in the south parking lot at Renton Memorial Stadium (no restrooms).  There will be a stop for restrooms and water at Coulon Park after 2 miles.  Then we'll ride north on the Lake Washington Bike Loop Trail up to the Mercer Slough Nature Park, cross the East Channel on the I-90 Bike Lane and regroup.  Cruise around Mercer Island clockwise.  Stop for lunch at Homegrown Sustainable Sandwiches (Menu link below). Retrace the route counter-clockwise back to I-90 and down the east side of Lake Washington to the start. We will start each Mercer Island loop together but climb and coast the rollers in our own comfort zone.
