If you watch my channel, you'll know that my guilty pleasure in cycling is hills of the steepest variety.  This is the 5th edition of the annual social group ride event in which I'd like to share that joy with you.  Best Side Summits is a condense South Bellevue / Issaquah route basically containing all of my favorite segments in the area. The idea is to encourage everyone to get up and over each (or as much as you'd like) of these hills as a rolling parade.

This year will feature two routes (and groups): one of them with an easier route and pacing to accomodate more riders. There will be a rest-stop thru the event (same spot as the starting/finish point) with snacks, water and refreshments for all the participants. The event will end with a ride up the famous "Zoo Hill" climb.

The ride will start and end at Lewis Creek Picnic Shelters. If you're driving, park at the adjacent lot at the Lewis Creek Visitor Center. The ride is free to join and self-supported (you are responsible for your own safety and incase of mechanicals) so please come prepared with everything you would need riding solo.
