Training for Spring #5--Mercer Island Loop-I-90 Bridge-South Lake Washington

Training for Spring is a 10-week series intended to keep our legs moving and warm throughout the winter and preparing us for spring training rides. Optional social gatherings are available before and after the rides to meet and connect with Ride Leaders and fellow riders. Our mid-ride rest stops will be brief in an effort to retain body heat. Please arrive 20 minutes before the published start time to ready your bike, check in, and participate in the SMART safety discussion.

The 5th of our 10 week Training for Spring series starts at Mercer Island Park & Ride. We’ll start with a Mercer Island loop, then cross the I-90 floating bridge westbound for a counterclockwise circuit around the south end of Lake Washington, and return to the start up the east shore of the lake . We’ll pause for a rest stop at Seward Park on our way south. An optional post-ride meal will be at the Islander, a few blocks from the Park & Ride.

If you want a cue sheet, please go to the RideWithGPS link below and print one out for yourself. There won't be any available from the ride leaders.

Note: There are no restrooms at the start; please plan accordingly.

Rest Stops: Seward Park MP 18.0

Post-Ride Meal Location: The Islander, 2441 76th Ave SE, Mercer Island
