Bridle Trail (the trail, not the park) and Kirkland Watershed Park are both fun and completely do-able dirt on the types of bikes that most .83 folks ride these days. They are also close to the bridge.

There is a huge peace sign dug into the ground in Kirkland Watershed Park that is pretty awesome, but not quite a fire pit:

this is a double edged sword for me as it means when i come to seattle to visit i can ride my bike to the ride from bellevue. it also means that then i have to ride my bike back to bellevue after the ride

As someone who commutes to the Eastside daily, fuck both of those routes. They're rarely on time, often jammed full of bikes well before Montlake and I'm willing to bet once the trail opens it will be just as fast (if not faster) to ride across as it will be to wait for them, esp. when you have to wait multiple coaches to get a spot on the bike rack. Outside of commuting hours it's more okay, but their frequency drops-off markedly and the late-night service on weekdays is nil.

None of that matters for PeteJr's ride home after too much .83.

I commute daily to/from the eastside as well.

Except it does. If PeteJr wants to bus into downtown for the ride he'll have to compete for space on both of those routes (esp. the 545). The 271 doesn't run after 22:30 & the 545 after midnight, which could leave one riding home instead:

And yes, this is now in the wrong forum. Lando should move us over to the "Wrenches, Gears, Routes & Lawns"
