RMS, Lake Sammamish, Newport, Bellevue, and back

We will meet in the parking lot at Redmond Middle School on Education Hill.

This will be a 35 mile ride with a stop at mile 14 at Tibbetts Valley Park for a short break.  Please bring food and beverage as we won't be stopping at a store or coffee shop. Join me as we ride along the east side of Lake Sammamish, up a gradual climb on Newport, through Factoria, and into Bellevue before returning on the 520 trail and then back up Education Hill to the school.

Please note, there are no available restrooms at the start.  We can make a stop at Marymoor for a pit stop - about 3 miles into the ride.

Please bring necessary tools to change a flat and arrive by 8:40 am to sign the waiver and hear the safety talk. We will leave promptly at 9:00 am.
