UPDATE1: King County Gravel - UW to Redmond Watershed

UPDATE 1: The primary route has a been altered.  Google maps indicates that there is a gate at mile 15 that may be difficult to get through.  With John's help we re-routed around that obstacle.  Also, on the return home we may hop on the Bridle Crest Trail and skip most of the 520 trail.  Download both routes below.  

ALTERNATE ROUTE: King County Gravel - ALT UW to Redmond Watershed Loop

A 41-mile gravel ride that starts at the UW Triangle.  We head east on the 520 Trail and north on the Cross Kirkland Corridor through Totem Lake.  There is a restroom option at Totem Lake Park (mile 11).  Next we make our way to Tolt Pipeline Trail.  Don't worry, we are skipping Heart Attack Hill (18%).  We will do that another day.  We will make our way though the Redmond Watershed Preserve and have lunch at PCC (mile ~26).  After lunch, we head west on the PSE Trail.  After the gravel we make our way back home via the 520 trail or Bridle Crest Trail.

I want to credit Best Side Cycling, a local YouTuber, for sharing his Woodinville Gravel ride.  I modified it to start from the UW and took out Heart Attack hill.  I enjoy his channel, and he needs more subscribers.  It is worth checking out.
