South Lake Loop (Daylight Savings Time) (Steady)

Let's meet at the Newport Hills Park and Ride. 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.

 We will make a short trip to Newport Beach Park for a quick rest stop, then ride along Lake Washington to the I-90 Bridge, ride around Mercer Island, then continue across the I-90 Bridge to Seattle.  We ride along Lake Washington to Renton's Coulon Park for a short break before returning to the start

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will be a stay together group 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 miles 1.1-Newport Beach Park, 15.3-Mercer Island Lid, and 31.0-Coulon Park.  We’ll also stop for coffee/snacks at Coulon Park at mile 31.

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 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.

We hope you can join us!
