We’re headed south for a change of pace: plenty of nice trail riding, quieter back roads, relatively low climbing, and a few tasty treat stops along the way.
We start from University Village, rolling south past the Arborteum and Lake Washington to the Interurban, Sumner Link and Foothill trails through Orting to historic Wilkeson (Simple Goodness Soda Shop @ 94K) up meandering Carbon River Road to Carbon Glacier trailhead. We then return through Wilkeson and on to Buckley, followed by another nice meander along Mud Mountain Road. Skirting Enumclaw, we continue north through farmlands to Kangley and Ravensdale, then onto the Cedar River Trail (Cascadia Pizza @ 204K). We stay on the Cedar River Trail back to Renton, then looping around Lakes Washington and Sammamish, through Marymoor and wrapping up on the Burke Gilman Trail back to U Village and Eureka! Restaurant and Bar.
