FRIDAY RIDERS: Ride to Issaquah on the Trail (Note--Ride is Starting at 9:00 AM

**NOTE**Hot weather (over 80°) will also cancel this ride. Due to warmer weather conditions the start time for this ride is now 9 AM.  

Join us for a ride from East Lake Sammamish Trailhead on a 21 mile route at a leisurely pace of 10-12 MPH!

Ready your bike and join me on a ride on the paved and scenic Eastlake Sammamish Trail. You will see views of the water and beautiful estates as we cycle from Redmond to Issaquah and back. There is a 3 mile closed section of the trail for development.  We will head up to the road above when necessary. Enjoy a social 1/2 hour break at the Issaquah Coffee Company where you can purchase food and drink. The return route will be on the Eastlake Sammamish Trail. This is an out and back route. **There is an optional lunch break at Blazing Bagels in Redmond near the trail head after the ride.**

Let's meet at the East Lake Sammamish Trailhead (Behind Whole Foods) in Redmond at 9:00 AM for our pre-ride safety briefing. We will depart as soon as that's done.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to stay together. Speed limits on the multi-use trail will be maintained.

A portable toilet is available at the start near the parking lot. Water and restroom are available at the Whole Foods. We’ll also stop for coffee/snacks at Issaquah Coffee Company at mile 10.6.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Your bike should be in good working order. Please bring a full water bottle and carry on your bike. Helmets are required!

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, 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(s) will not be at the start location.

We hope you can join us!
