Coker: South Lake Washington Loop

I've been interested in a 20+ mile loop around town. Now I have one: South Lake Washington, I-90 Loop. The loop goes from Bellevue to Renton, up to the I-90 bridge and back to Bellevue, passing Mercer Island. The loop is about 26 miles, so a marathon. Adding two miles from my house to the loop makes a cool 30 miles, but I might just drive down the hill to the loop to start.

This is a well worn bicycle loop. Certain parts of the loop are on bike only paths which make the loop pretty easy. There is a total of 900 feet of climb in the loop. For reference, the Mercer Island loop of ~12 miles has 700 feet of climb.

The parts of the loop I have ridden have a good qualities for Cokering: no need to dismount for traffic, relatively consistent riding surface
