Explore Bellevue's hidden treasures and award winning parks by bike in the ninth annual Lake to Lake Bike Ride, presented by the City of Bellevue, Crossroads Bellevue and Overlake Medical Center & Clinics. The non-competitive ride, Saturday, June 11, 8 a.m.-1 p.m., utilizes low-traffic roads, bike lanes and part of the Lake to Lake trail (non-technical gravel) and traverses much of the city.
Riders of all abilities can enjoy the Lake to Lake ride, with two route options. Both routes are approximately 80% paved road and 20% small gravel.
- Greenbelt Loop - mostly flat 8-mile route
- Lake Loop - more challenging 24-mile route with significant elevation gain. The course is well-marked and supported by staff and volunteers. Riders under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Afterwards, enjoy a post-ride party with prize giveaways, and a free kids ride in the park for children 8 and under. Proceeds benefit the City of Bellevue's youth camp scholarship fund.
