Good thing the ride wasn’t scheduled for Sep15 = rainy all TODAY.
Accuweather for Issaquah shows a dry 21&22 Sep.
The pic below is where the easy ride on Saturday starts. Parking aplenty.
Cedar River Trail from this spot is a couple of miles of flat then a steady false flat rise up to Hwy18. Paved for 10 miles. Hard packed trail (optional) for a few miles past the paved. Return the same route.
Sunday the ride ride starts at Marymoor Park, Velodrome parking area. If that space is otherwise occupied park in a close spot, I will be closer to the the East side entrance (closer to East Lake Sammamsh Rd). But MEET AT THE VELODROME PARKING LOT ON YOUR BIKE. Tentatively, arrive between 10:00 - 10:15 for a departure not later than 10:25.
Rain cancels, but I run fendered for wet roads if the rain has stopped.
East Lake Sammamish Rd gets any sunshine that may exist.
Henry Moses pool & slides, just off Maple Valley Hwy, Renton.
I park just to be left of his pic, next to the grass fields.
