The way points of this bicycle route:
Jim's home.
Issaquah-Pine Lake road sucks. The shoulder disappears just after the condos. Be aggressive, take the lane.
A respite - nine speed bumps, but it's quiet. Ensure your brakes work!
I had an errand to do, so I continued on a little bit.
Busy road! This part truly sucks because you're crossing a two-lane freeway onramp. In the future, I would recommend taking Front Street to Issaquah-Hobert, right on May Valley, then SE 128th to Renton.
If you survived this, you'd really want to head left down Newport Way, then hang a right on Front Street, Issaquah-Hobart and May Valley. But noooo... I wanted to see where SR 900 leads. Buckle in!
Suckage level approximately 50%
Maximum suckage level as the shoulder disappears. On the right, up ahead, are trail heads. Porta-potties!
At least this portion starts to go downhill, where you can maintain a hefty clip.
I shoulda turned on May Valley road.
Yeech! more urban
Look, a new Target going in next to Fry's.
As soon as you can, head into the Renton Airport where you can join the Green Valley trail and get away from the nutcases driving near Boeing's Renton plant.
This road's very creepy at night - always has some cop pulling over a van with darkened glass - but during the day, there's a nice bike lane.
Diverting to Seward Park
If you continue straight on Wilson, you'll bypass the down then up hill near Seward Park.
It started raining here...
There's a PCC near here where I stopped for lunch.
Although there's a trail by the lake, it's faster/easier to stay on the main road.
OMFG this ride up Massachusetts hill hurts
This would be a good time to have eye gear... prepare to be sprayed by salty, mist.
