CANCELLED -- Shorter Renton-Cedar Grove Loop (Moderate)

Join us for this fun and scenic country ride!  Starting from Old Renton City Hall, we will head up the beautiful Cedar River Trail, climb through Cedar Grove and wooded Lake Francis, and then ride over to Hobart.  From there we have a long descent into Issaquah where we'll stop for lunch.  Leaving Issaquah, challenge yourself on the Newport Hill climb and earn the reward of a thrilling descent to Factoria.  We then return along the east shore of Lake Washington to Renton.

Bring tools and know-how to fix a flat.  Use the link below to review the route map and download to your GPS device or print a cue sheet if you want one.

Please arrive at the start by 9:45 am for the safety briefing so we can roll promptly at 10:00 am.  Restrooms are located approx. ¼ mile northeast of the start (turn left onto Houser Way from the south end of the parking lot…use the sidewalk to go to the restrooms due to heavy car volume).

The ride leader will not be at the ride start should inclement weather and unsafe road conditions meet the definition for cancellation (steady rain). Ride cancellation will be announced in the Comments Section below and on Meetup at least two (2) hours prior to the ride start. If you have questions about the weather, please call the ride leader, preferably before you leave home.
