Midweek Eastside On Wheels - Lower Lake WA Loop (Moderate)

Let's meet at the Wilburton Park and Ride. Be there, ready to pounce 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.

Get ready to experience the best of the Eastside on two wheels! This ride will take us on a scenic 32-mile loop through Bellevue, Renton, Lake Washington Blvd, 520 Bridge, and Medina with 1,250 feet of elevation gain. We'll climb our way up some hills, enjoy some captivating views of the Lake Washington, and share moments with fellow cyclists.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will REGROUP OCCASIONALLY. We'll also limit our speed on any multi-use paths to the legal maximum.

Restrooms are NOT available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at mile 15.4 in Seward Park.

Rider Responsibility, Navigation & Mechanicals: Please be prepared to be self-sufficient on this ride. This includes knowing how to handle minor mechanical issues (like changing a flat) and carrying the necessary tools and supplies. Should you become separated from the group for any reason (mechanical, pace, etc.), you are responsible for your own navigation and safe return. We strongly recommend downloading the route to a GPS device or phone app. Have a backup plan in case you cannot complete the ride, such as a charged cell phone to call for pickup or an ORCA card for public transit options along the route. While we regroup at designated points, please understand that ride leader(s) may not be able to wait indefinitely for individuals who fall significantly behind or require lengthy stops.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed in the Weather Status 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.
