Come join my friends from COGS"Cyclists of Greater Seattle" and I on a challenging North Lake Loop. This is not the traditional lake loop! This ride has many wonderful extras. I avoid busy roads and have very little bike trail. We will travel through Laurelhurst, Windermere, Cedar Heights, Perkins downhill, Lake Forest Park, Inglewood, Holmes Point, Juanita Bay park, Medina, Bellevue, Beaux Arts, South Mercer Island ,Leschi, Arboretum, Husky Stadium, back to Gasworks. I plan to stop for lunch in Bellevue at La Cocina Del Puerco Restaurant. There will be a few section such as the bike trail that we will need to ride under Brisk to be safe and legal. Please bring fenders with buddy flaps if rain is likely. Also be prepared to fix any mechanicals you may have. There is no sweep on this ride.
