Kirkland Social: Bellevue Loop 25 (Steady)

Let's meet at Heritage Park Parking Lot. Be ready to ride at the time listed above. We will start with the required safety briefing and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate. If you plan to join enroute please contact the ride leader in advance to arrange for a safety briefing.

We will ride east to Rose Hill in Kirkland before turning south to 116th Ave NE.   The route continues south via 120^th Ave NE to the Spring Street area and then west on NE 12^th before turning south again to our 30 minute lunch stop at Dilletante Mocha Cafe, mile 10.9.   The return route continues west and then north through Beau Arts before we climb Hilltop Rd. We'll continue heading north to join the 520 Trail at 92nd Ave NE and finish the ride along Lake Washington Blvd to the start.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace and will regroup when necessary. Riders should be able to sustain a 12-14 mile per hour pace on the flats with a commensurate level of effort on the hills.

Restrooms and water are not available at the start, but we will stop at Marina Bay Park @ mile 0.3. Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Other things to bring are a phone, ID; cash and/or credit card; ORCA card; water and a small snack. 

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, the Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location. Please check before leaving for the ride.

We hope you can join us.
