Green Lake to Eastside (Vigorous)

Let's meet at the Green Lake community center by the outdoor basketball court and restrooms. Be there, ready to go at the time listed above. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

There's limited parking at the start. Consider parking at the south end of Green Lake (near Woodland Park South playing fields or across from the boathouse) and riding to start, but be sure to leave yourself time to park. Or, better yet, ride to start.

We'll follow mostly low traffic roads up around north end of Lake Washington to Bothell and then do a loop down to Redmond across through Bellevue and up through Kirkland and back to Bothell continuing back to the start at Green Lake.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will regroup occasionally (such at the top of longer climbs). We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH, occasionally 10 MPH).

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at miles 23.5 and 46. We’ll also stop for coffee/snacks at mile 46 (multiple coffee shops available which we can stop at if lines aren't too long).

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Other things to bring: phone; ID; cash and/or credit card; ORCA card; water and a small snack. 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 cancel the ride and all registered riders will be sent a notification email. If the ride is cancelled at least two hours before the start, Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.

We hope you can join us!
