Description
Choose one of two starting locations for our Friday morning adventure!
If you're looking for the full route, start at Judkins Park, where we'll skate across the I-90 Bridge to Mercer Island.
If you'd prefer fewer miles, join us later at the Mercer Island Park & Ride, where you'll meet up with the main group before the island loop begins.
From there, everyone will wind through Mercer Island on quiet roads with gentle rolling terrain. The second half of the island features some longer climbs and descents, making this a great introduction to road skating with just enough elevation to keep things interesting.
Along the way we'll split into optional spicy offshoots before rejoining the main group multiple times, so everyone can choose their own level of challenge.
Water is limited along the route, so come prepared. We're planning water support and will have an on-call support vehicle available if needed.
At the end of the skate, you can either finish at the Mercer Island Park & Ride or continue back across the I-90 Bridge to Judkins Park for the complete route.
