Redmond to Sammamish via 6 lakes (Steady)

Let's meet at the East Lk Sammamish Trail parking lot (behind Whole Foods. 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.

A good stay loose, get ready for STP ride and a fun route. Once we gain the Sammamish Plateau the rest of the ride is easy rolling, thru neighborhoods with low traffic, smooth roads and good views. Learn how to detour around the East Lake Sammamish Trail closure, plus descend the newly paved and upgraded Thompson Hill Road  (now with bike lanes!)

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 (usually 15 MPH, occasionally 10 MPH).

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms at miles 9, 14 and 22.  We’ll also stop for drinks/snacks at QFC/Starbucks at mile 14.  Note : additional parking is available at the Marymoor Village train station which is 100 yards from our start location.

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!
