Renton to Leschi for Coffee (Steady)

Let's get together for a steady ride for good company and coffee! We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

Join Michael Hsu and I for a trip from Renton to Leschi on Saturday, as I mentor Michael towards Ride Leader status. We'll meet in the parking lot of Old Renton City Hall (200 Mill Ave S), and ride quiet roads and bike lanes to the Leschi Starbucks for a coffee break. Out and back, we'll ride mostly along the scenic shore of Lake Washington. We'll keep a Steady pace on the flats (a little faster downhill, a little slower on the way up).

Restrooms are not available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms at the Atlantic City Boat Ramp on the way out around mile 5. Starbucks at mile 11 will be the midpoint of the ride, and we'll stop at Seward Park for another rest stop on the way back at mile 16.

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!
