This CTS ride starts from the Bothell Park and Ride. **NOTE** There are no restroom at the start! Plan accordingly. The first stop will be at mile 10.

Please, park in the west end of the Park & Ride in order to leave the parking slots near the bus stop available for transit customers. If you park in a slot marked for permit use, please, be sure it is available for general use on weekends. Most are.

We start with a nice long fairly flat ride through the winery area of Woodinville (unfortunately no time to have a glass of wine!) and along the Sammamish River trail. Our first rest stop is at Marymoor Park (mile 10). We then ride along West Lake Sammamish and make a right turn onto Newport Way to begin our first long climb of the day. We coast down into Factoria, through the slough ride through Beaux Arts district, and along urban Bellevue streets into Medina. We'll take Points Drive down to Lake Wa Blvd and into downtown Kirkland where we will stop for our second restroom break at mile 34. We'll then climb Market Street hill, ride along 100th Ave and have a grand downhill on Waynita Way. At the old Wayne Golf Course be prepared to dismount and walk across their graveled parking lot. From there it is a quick hop on Riverside Dr. and into the Bothell Park and Ride where we can celebrate our achievement for the day!
