TREATS: North Lake Loop

Enjoy an almost traffic free ride from Woodinville counterclockwise around the north end of Lake Washington, past UW, across the 520 bridge and back north along the Sammamish River.  We will ride on the Sammamish, Burke-Gilman, 520, and Bear Creek trails with very little time spent on roadways. Except for 8 miles between the end of the the 520 bridge and Redmond, the ride is nearly flat.  Where there are hills we will climb and descend at our own rate and regroup at the top or bottom. A RWGPS link is posted below.  If you want a cue sheet, please print one and bring it with you.

A public restroom is available on the Sammamish River Trail near enough to the start so you can cycle there after parking your car (see RWGPS link).  We will plan rest stops at Mathews Beach Park (mile 10.5) and at Starbucks in Redmond (mile 28.1). 

Please arrive 15 minutes before the start of the ride to hear the safety (SMART) briefing. Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader will not be at the start location.

We hope you can join us.
