Not So Chilly, Somewhat Hilly (Brisk 16-18 mph, 47 mi., 2800')

We'll meet in Renton at the Renton Community Center parking lot near the water slides. Bathrooms are available at the start. We'll start with a brief stint on the Cedar River Trail, then climb through Fairwood and Renton Highlands, and cruise through May Valley on the way to coffee/lunch in Issaquah. We'll continue climbing up Newport Way and Lakemont, before a quick descent through Newcastle on the way back. Three great climbs and three fun descents, mixed with some nice rolling terrain. Riders can climb at their own pace and we'll regather as needed.
