Ride Description: 
Please note: During COVID-19 Phases 1.5 and 2, all Free Group Rides are limited to six total participants: the Ride Leader and five others. Registration for the ride (using the red “Register Now” button above) is REQUIRED to participate. If you decide not to ride, please unregister for this ride so that an additional spot will be made available to another.

Face coverings (for mouth and nose) are required when the group makes extended stops. Face coverings are recommended for the duration of the ride. Please bring personal hand sanitizer,  disinfecting wipes and tissues for use at rest stops.

This is a very scenic 29-mile ride at a relaxed and steady pace along Lake Washington Blvd from downtown Renton to Madison Park's Starbucks for coffee and pastries. This ride is especially geared towards new or beginning level riders who would like to learn about safe group riding skills and also riding a couple of short and moderate hills. This is a stay together ride meaning we will all start and finish together.  The ride will take about 3 hours with a 15-minute mid-point break at Madison Park.  Please arrive 15 minutes before start time so that we can roll out on time at 10:00 a.m.

Stops: Seward Park - mile 7.0 (brief restroom stop) and mid-point coffee stop for 20 minutes at Madison Park's Starbucks - mile 15.0 

"Steady Pace" is 12-14 mph on flat surface without any headwind. We will go slower on hills and with a headwind and faster going downhill.

Weather - Showers or more severe weather will cancel the ride.  Ride cancellation will be announced below and in the comments section of the Cascade calendar entry at least two hours before start time and the ride leaders will not be at the start.  If you have questions, please contact the Ride Leader.
