FRUMPS: Newport Hills and Bellevue (Steady)

We're off to tour around Newport Hills and Bellevue, throwing some hills in to stay warm! We'll meet at the Newcastle Beach Park in south Bellevue. Be there, ready to go at 10 am. 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'll head south on the Eastrail, then climb up to May Creek Road. A quick roll through Newport Hills will point us to the climb up to Lewis Creek Park and our first restroom stop. A nice downhill on 164th takes us to Newport Way, Eastgate and eventually Bellevue College. We'll continue on to 148th and Main, and our lunch stop at Starbucks.  After lunch, we'll head to the Microsoft campus via the East Bellevue Greenway, then onto the SR 520 trail to get us back to downtown Bellevue. From there, a nice south Bellevue route gets us to the I-90 trail, 118th, and the Eastrail return to Newcastle Beach.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and we will regroup at the top of hills and major turns if not together. 

Restrooms are available at the start, and we'll make a planned stop at Lewis Creek Park (mile 10.1).

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!
