This is the traditional ride around Lake Washington on Independence Day. We might see local parades (e.g., Kirkland) on the way. You can join us en route if you prefer that to the group start. Instead of the usual counterclockwise heading south, we will travel clockwise heading north. The pace is moderate and we will take trails, such as the new Arboretum trail and 520 partial trail. Focus is on scenic routes and a minimum of climbing. The default will be to return across I-90 to Leschi, but if enough riders want to do the south end too, we can add it and ride past the Osprey nest near Gene Coulon Park on the way. Total distance is about 40 miles for the north loop or 55 for the entire lake. We will ride together and regroup often. Carry snacks. We can stop in Kirkland for food if the crowds are not impossible, but be prepared to have enough food for a 40-mile ride. My cell phone is 206-225-7737. Mel Simburg.
