CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE Course is well marked and ride guides will be provided at the start line. Route descriptions and simple maps are below. Course is open 6 am - 6 pm. Be sure to choose a route you can complete in this amount of time . HOW TO CHOOSE A ROUTE Take into account your own experience, your physical condition right now and the course hours. As the ride approaches, look at the weather report and adjust your decision according to what you can handle. You can switch routes at the start line.If you start to ride and would like to change routes, you may hop to a different route at the Marymoor rest stop, where the two routes split. Please note that your timing will be off if you choose to do this. If you switch to a shorter course you may arrive to the finish more quickly than others and dinner may not yet be ready. If you switch to a longer course, please be sure you have ample time to complete the ride before the course and dinner close. 100 MILES - THE FULL CENTURY This route loops you around some of the best areas Washington has to offer. Ride on the popular Burke Gilman Trail, stop in historic Bothell, and ride into the beautiful cities of Redmond, Fall City, and Mercer Island. The stops along the way alone are worth the ride. There will be berry pies at Remlinger Farms, strawberry shortcake, deli sandwiches on Dave's Killer bread, along with the traditional snack items. There will also be mechanical support to keep you on track. 50 MILES - THE HALF CENTURY If you're not up for a full century, you'll still get a nice ride on this 50 mile route. The course is a modified version of the century. The start and finish stay the same. However, this route takes you from the historic Bothell City, to Redmond, and onto Mercer Island. Ride on the popular Sammamish River Trail that leads you along the scenic Lake Sammamish. HOW TO STAY ON TRACK Rest stops close as the day wears on. Check the ride guide maps for detailed rest stop timing and ride at a pace that allows you to reach rest stops before they close. Choose a route that allows you to ride at a steady, comfortable pace throughout the day without being rushed. Give yourself ample time to relax at rest stops, take in the gorgeous scenery and chat with friends along the way. Start on time and stay on your chosen route. |
