What did you think of the video? Do you like this format? Was it helpful? What route would you want to see next? Have you ridden the Lake Washington Loop before? Make sure to use the description links to get to the area you're interested in.
Thank you. As I watch this video what I would want to get out of this is how to find the connectivity path between when one train ends and another one starts
The Ellensburg canyon from Selah to Ellensburg is a blast. I like your trail better I think. The Greenway from Union Gap to Naches in Beautiful. ❤ Never leave this life.
I watched the whole thing! You did a good job. I've done this route several times over the past few decades but never as fast as you. You are in really good shape! I would be very lucky to average 14 mph. I agree with your assessments i.e. clock wise is easier to navigate etc. Thanks for posting.
Thanks man. Excited to do many more :) These ones are very "quick" and easy for me to make. I'm sometimes surprised people are willing to watch all the way thru.
Such an iconic Seattle ride. Over the decades the route has evolved and improved. Fun to see your ride with commentary. Was surprised you didn’t take the Left at 14:05 at the south end of Coulon to get to Houser Way and the Kenworth plant. Much less traffic. Another fun option counter clockwise is through the downtown waterfront and down along the west side of the Duamish Elliot Bay trail, Waterfront, Duamish bikeway, Green River Trail, Lake to Sound Bikeway, Renton, then the normal route up the east side. There are a couple kinks after South Park, but pretty manageable. The route is quite congruent and IMO even safer than the west side section of Lake Washington.
@@CentristRN haha yeah I use Houser way but wanted to show the most standard/signed route! Thanks for all the suggestions. I agree there's so many great trails nearby to make even bigger loops with
This was one of my favorite rides in the 70's. I liked the counter clockwise direction because in fair weather I could end with a bit of a tail wind. Since I was starting from White Center I always had the delightful Boeing Hill kicker at the end.
Kudos. My daughter lives in Wallingford and I bring a bike when I visit. I usually ride the northern Lake Washington loop to I90. Now I can ride the southern portion.
Kudos! This reminds me of Kerry Ward's longform running videos. I did this route clockwise starting at Log Boom Park on Thanksgiving morning - there were a total of three cars moving around in all of downtown Bellevue, it was glorious!
I recently just found your channel. It is very informative and well documented. You have inspired me to try the STP this year. Thank you for the motivation to get out there and roll around.
@@jeffwilcox thanks so much for watching thru. It's always interesting how people ride the same roads in different directions. Can make it feel completely new
Great video. It's nice to have a gapless video for home workout routines (I'm typing this while walking on a treadmill). Additionally, I'm learning a new route, making mental notes of the turns and surroundings when you're navigating the streets, and also the danger spots (railroad crossings, high speed streets, conflicts with motorists, construction). It sure beats trying to learn a ride from Google Streetview imagery from 5 years ago or constantly stopping to check Google Maps during a ride. This is also documenting the state of bike travel in Seattle for bike bloggers, journalists, urban planners, and historians. It might be cool to do a ride as a livestream where you can respond to questions and comments from the audience in realtime. Probably requires a good LTE connection and OBS Studio running on a phone, a mini PC on the bike rack, or a remote realtime video stream editor at home or in the cloud.
I90 trail. I would like you to come south to the Inter urban and green river trails. The trails are flat but, beautiful. The Inter urban gets rough before the outlet mall and the rest of the way to 8th st. If you want a longer ride you can continue on the Sumner link and the foothill trail for roughly 100 mile round trip.
Also, the voiceover is better because having to talk and breathe must make pedaling more strenuous plus the little beeps are distracting. Leave having to shout at rude motorists though. ;^)
Kudos to you, Hanoch. Nice, inspirational ride. I'll try the Juanita drive/112-118th route. I'm used to riding to Woodinville before heading south. Happy new year.
I was interested in doing this loop, but seeing the part on Juanita drive just made me go nah. Burke -> Sammamish -> 520 loop is good for me. Can do the crossing at 90 if I want similar distance.
You're doing a fantastic job! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
That section of lake washington blvd in renton is terrible. One time I had a driver behind me for a good while cause he was too scared to drive past me in the bike lane, I dont blame him. That bike lane is the biggest barrier to me going to bellevue. Like I wanna check T&T out but then im reminded i have to use that stretch., those green shards I think are the paint breaking. Its not really paint its more like a plastic that is placed on the road. Thermoplastic I think its called.
Oh also the section of cycletrack that is bumpy in Renton along Logan ave you went through, im reminded I need to report that to the city, the really bad bumps are pavement lifting up from trees that just needs to be sanded down!
Dude. What the heck? I was on board with you (mostly) until you went up Juanita. WHY?! First-timers should take the route further on to the 405 interchange and hop on the Sammamish "river" trail to Redmond. The way you're taking them (which I've done myself plenty of times) is not the best. Bad, bad, bad! :\
@@mattwirkkala I understand your sentiment and yeah I should have made extra notes in the video about the options to extend on the srt for lower traffic stress but this is the "signed" Lake Washington loop and what people usually refer to when they mention it!

More of these would be awesome! I would love like entire trail rides with real time commentary. :D

Format is spot on. Audio is good. Video is good. You should record and upload this trail to Rouvey.
Is there a map recorded in Strava you can link to in the description?

I saw you at 1:48:22, but you clipped out the intersection where we passed each other. Cool to see you out and about on the last day of the year!
Kudos, Hanoch! Thanks for bringing us along on your ride and we are looking forward to more rides like this in 2025!

These comments are what keeps me going. Thanks and best of luck. Hope to see you out on the course
Kudos!!🎉🎉🎉 I’ve been wanting to do this route, and now super motivated to try it in Spring.
Thanks so much for watching thru! Love seeing comments like these :) makes my effort all worth it. Best of luck and let us know how it goes.

Thanks, have never done the loop in this direction. Always get lost in the spots you showed in Kirkland, etc. happy new year!

This is great. I wish it was around before I did the loop for the first time.
