Description of route: A ride up through the Microsoft campus and down to I-90 (Mountains to Sound Greenway) and the Bellefield Office Park for a 25 minute coffee & natter stop at Dilettante Mocha Cafe. We return through Kirkland with an approximate 0.8 mile stretch of easy peasy gravel along the way (including the famous loop-de-doo overpass on the trail). Rest stop at Lake Hills Park at mile 9.6; Coffee Stop at Dilettante Mocha Cafe at mile 16.7.

We will have a Steady pace group as well (separate posting) so this might be a chance for some Steady riders to stretch a bit and move to try the low Moderate pace for a personal challenge. 

Distance, Pace and Terrain Code (A, B, C, D):30 miles, Moderate* Pace (14-16 mph), and A/B Terrain with a little C at the start.  * will tend toward the bottom of the pace range!
