Bike the Light Rail: One Way on the 2 Line (Leisurely)

Join us for a transit tour from Enatai Beach Park on an 11 mile one way route from Bellevue into Redmond at a Leisurely (10-12 mph average on flat ground) pace!

We will meet next to the parking lot at Enatai Beach Park (3519 108th Ave SE, Bellevue, WA 98004). Bike access is from nearby I-90/Mountains to Sound Trail. Parking can be found in adjacent parking lots. Transit access is from Sound Transit's 2 Line light rail, Route 550 bus, and King County Metro Bus routes 241 & 249 serving South Bellevue Station about a mile away.

Please be ready to ride at 2:00 PM. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that’s done. All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

We will visit a total of 8 future light rail stations on this ride at which we will pause briefly to observe them. We will take a restroom & water break at Highland Park in Bellevue (mile 7). There are restrooms near the start in the lower area of Enatai Beach Park.

The route is mostly on paved roads and trails.

Please note: this ride is expected to last around 2 hours (estimated finish by 4:00 pm) and will end at Redmond Technology Station. Riders may use the light rail or local trails to return to the start.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.

We hope you can join us!
