The ride goes east on the Cedar River Trail, then heads north on Cedar Grove Road and Issaquah-Hobart Road before turning west onto SE May Valley Road. The route then turns north onto Coal Creek Pkwy, then west on SE 89th Place all the way to Lake Washington where we break at Starbuck's Coffee near the Seahawk practice facility. After the rest break the ride continues north up Lake Washington Blvd, across the I-90 Trail, and around the Mercer Island loop before getting back on the I-90 Trail to Seattle. The ride concludes in Renton by way of Lake Washington Blvd, Seward Park Ave, and Rainier Ave while heading south.

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.
