Leisurely Lake Sammamish Loop

Join us for a social ride starting from Issaquah's Meerwood park on a 23 mile route around Lake Sammamish at a leisurely pace of 10-12 miles per hour (on the flats)!

This will be a social, leisurely ride around the lake with frequent regroups and opportunities to stop for a few minutes as we pass through Marymoor Park.  We can also think about a quick stop at "The Little Store" just before we make our final climb near the elementary schools.  (Hostess Twinkies anyone?)

Let's meet at the Meerwood Park (on street parking in a residential neighborhood) in Issaquah and please be ready to ride at 9:15am. 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 the inclines at our own pace, and our goal will be to regroup as needed along the way. This ride will use a combination of bike paths and roads.  We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH).

Restrooms are NOT available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water as they are available. We’ll also stop for coffee/snacks at Marymoor park and The Little Store.

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!
