Seattle's Lake Washington Bridges Loop and Mercer Island Cycling

Описание: Best of Seattle on two wheels. Ride across two floating bridges, through parks, an arboretum, and even a wetland.

The Lake Washington Bridges Loop is one of my absolute favorite cycling routes in the Seattle area. Even though it is an urban ride, the scenery is incredible as you ride a quarter-Century on a mix of streets and paved bike trails. If you are new to cycling and ready for a longer ride or a veteran cyclist who wants to explore the Seattle area, the Lake Washington Bridges Loop ride has something for everyone.

The Lake Washington Bridges Loop is approximately 25 miles and should take around 2 hours. If you add the Mercer Island loop to the ride it will be approximately 33 miles and around 2.5 hours.
