Event has already happened.

I used to think the I-90 bike trail over the floating bridge was just fine. But then I tried the new 520 trail. If you haven't been over it yet you owe it to yourself! But we'll do both bridges and the new trail through the arboretum on this scenic ride. Lunch stop at New Seasons on Mercer Island.

This ride is a mentoring opportunity for ride leader candidates who have completed the ride leader training class. The ride leader will not be at the ride start should weather meet the definition for cancellation (showers).

Ride cancellation will be announced in the Comments Section below at least two (2) hours prior to the ride start and the ride leader will monitor the phone and email listed.

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
Some Hills

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
