NOTE THE NEW START LOCATION. The Trail Park parking was almost full last time, so let's try a new start location - East Marymoor Parking lot. The parking is free there, no $1 fee.  This is the parking lot next to the East Marymoor Park entrance kiosk. 

Join us as we leave from Redmond on a 27-mile ride around Lake Sammamish at a steady pace, (12 - 14 mph on the flats).

This counterclockwise trip around Lake Sammamish is a mixture of roads and trails.  After a quick snack at PCC, we will take a detour south in Issaquah to visit Jakob Two Trees, the Issaquah troll. 

Please be ready to ride at 10:00am. 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 climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to regroup frequently. 

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms at mile 9, also at the Issaquah PCC at mile 12.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. 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 cancelation criterion listed in the Weather Status or if there is ice or 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 canceled 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!

What to Know Before You Go

  • Advance registration required. Cancel if unable to attend, to open space for others.
  • Must be present at safety briefing to participate.
  • Helmets required.
  • Riders under 18 years old require parental consent & approval from the Ride Leader.
Distance
27 mi.
Elevation Gain
723 ft.
Pace
Steady: [12-14mph]

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.

Terrain
Rolling

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
