CATS Magnuson -- May Valley and Redmond Ridge (Strenuous)

We will start going counter-clockwise around Lake Washington and turn east up to May Valley before the VMAC. After May Valley we ride north through Issaquah Highlands and Klahanie, around Beaver Lake, down and up to Redmond Ridge and north again to Woodinville Duvall Rd before coming back west on the north side of 522 in Bothell and Kenmore. Elevation gain is about 5500 feet. The ride starts at the big parking lot south of NE 74th St in the park. Turn right off of Sand Point Way at NE 74th St and continue east until you see the huge parking lot on the right. Please be prepared to deal with flats and other problems on your own. There are two rest stops, at the Starbucks in Kennydale and the QFC on Redmond Ridge. Please be at the start ready to ride by 8:45, we hope to be riding before 9:00.
