FRIDAY RIDERS — Coffee Loop to Redmond Town Center
Weekly Friday morning coffee shop group ride from Bothell through Redmond Town Center. Casual loop for Seattle-area cyclists who want a relaxed midmorning outing with a café stop.
The vibe
Ride, sip, repeat Fridays
The Friday Riders Coffee Loop is built around an honest priority: the café stop at Redmond Town Center is the destination, and the bike ride is how you get there. Departing from Bothell, the loop covers the eastside terrain between the two towns before the group rolls into Redmond for coffee. It’s a casual format designed for people who want a Friday morning outing without the pressure of a training ride.
Eastside roads in this corridor are generally well-suited to group riding — enough variety to keep the route interesting without demanding serious fitness. The Bothell to Redmond direction has some elevation but nothing extreme, and the coffee shop end justifies whatever effort the ride took.
Cascade Bicycle Club organizes this one as part of their Friday weekday ride program. Free with advance registration at cascade.org. The Bothell starting point is accessible from the northern eastside suburbs and easily reachable from 522. Check cascade.org for the exact meeting location and any schedule updates.
