Classic Lake Washington Loop

This is the classic full Lake Washington Loop starting at Newport Hills Park and Ride. We will be riding counter clockwise around the lake with a stop at at the halfway point for coffee and food, most likely at Voila Bistro or Essential Bakery, both on Madison Street. There is no bathroom stop at the start however we will be making a stop at mile 9 in Kirkland for a bathroom break. The pace will be moderate on the flats and slower on the hills.  We will regroup at the tops of hills.  We will be observing the 15mph rule on mixed use trails.
