Renton to Madison Park - (Steady)

Let's meet at the Burnett Linear Park parking lot in Renton. 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.  

Come and join us for a scenic 29-mile ride at a relaxed steady pace along Lake Washington Blvd from Downtown Renton to Madison Park's Starbucks for coffee and pastries. This ride is especially geared towards new or beginning level riders who would like to learn about safe group riding skills and also riding a couple of short and moderate hills. This is a stay together ride meaning, we will all start and finish together.  The ride will take about 2.75 hours with a 15-minute mid-point break at Madison Park's Starbucks.  We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will regroup frequently.  We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum (usually 15 MPH, occasionally 10 MPH).

Restrooms are not available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at Seward Park (mile 7). We’ll also stop for coffee/snacks at Madison Park Starbucks at mile 15.

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!
