Join us for a ride from Newport Hills Park & Ride on a 35.2 mile route at moderate pace (14-16 MPH)!

We will head over to Madison Park via Mercer Island and Lake Washington Boulevard for a cup of coffee at Starbucks before returning across 520 for a return ride through Medina. We will maintain posted limits on mixed use trails.

Let's meet at the Newport Hills Park & Ride and please be ready to ride at 10:00am. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done. If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to regroup occasionally.

Restrooms are NOT available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at the Enetai Park at mile 2.8.

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 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!
