See all- S.M.I.L.E. (Sunday Mercer Island Loops for Everyone)Lid Park, Mercer Island, WA
Another Sunday with decent weather; let's get some outdoor riding done! Meet at 9am, wheels rolling by 9:10am. I'm capping attendance at 15 as I don't feel comfortable leading a bigger ride on the open roads there.
Route: I plan to ride the “Smile” on Mercer Island, meaning I’ll start at the parking lot at the Lid Park, ride south along W Mercer Way all the way to the south end of the island and back up E Mercer Way until reaching I-90, then turn around and do the same thing in reverse. Round trip is about 21 miles, 1200 ft of elevation. There is a restroom and water fountain nearby the start/finish but no options along the ride. If you're looking for a longer ride, consider biking to/from the event or adding additional self-supported loops after the official event ends.
You can see the map here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46556484
Pace and regrouping: I will only have the time and endurance to do one out-and-back loop - I expect I'll maintain an average pace of about 16mph, and will stop to regroup with slower riders at the turnaround point.
Equipment and Safety: Helmets are required to ride. A good headlight and taillight are recommended. Rain (however unlikely) will cancel this ride. Bring your own nutrition you expect to need during the ride. Riders should be able to sustain the appropriate pace, know how to read a cue sheet, change a flat tire (and have the requisite equipment to do so) and have a positive attitude. Ride Leaders and Sweeps will not stop long for flats or mechanical issues due to group safety.
In order to participate in any Seattle Triathlon Group event, you must sign our waiver. Please use the same email address for the waiver as the email address you use here on Meetup so we can match them up. New this year is that I will only be accepting electronic waivers - please complete the waiver ahead of time!
Thanks and Tri On!
