FRUMPS: Ride the New 520 & Arboretum Trails the FRUMPS Way

Join us on a steady ride around the south end of Lake Washington via SR 520 rather than the usual I 90 crossing. It adds only a few additional miles but provides new perspective on the Lake and its opposite shores. If you have hesitated taking this route on your own and/or have questions about the exact on and off paths, this ride will give you the answers. We start at Mt Baker Beach Park and proceed north along Lakeside Avenue to the Arboretum Trail and connect with the new 520 Trail after crossing the Montlake Bridge. Then South around Lake Washington back to our starting point.  There will be a food stop along the way. BILL BLAKE, thank you for providing the route for this ride!

Pace is Steady, 12-14 MPH on flat, no wind; slower uphill and faster down, with occasional regrouping.
