A gal from the Redmond Cycling club sent out an email advertising a "Low key" bike ride around Lake Washington. I didn't really feel like doing 50+ miles, but I liked the low key part.

To my delight, 3 of the nicest people in the club were there, and none of them were in the mood to go too fast. Weather was mostly overcast with some sun breaks, so we never got too hot. There were plenty of hills, some short ones with grades over 13% (but who's counting)

I felt quite puny but was able to keep up with everyone for the whole 42 miles.

we ended up doing a modified north lake loop with some interesting detours in Kirkland and Mercer Island.
