We tried out a new trail that connects the 520 loop with the Lake Washington Loop and extends to Golden Gardens.  This trail is a bit over 50 miles and was a fantastic experience.

Issues - there is a "Missing Link" section in Ballard which is 1.4 miles long without a dedicated bike trail.  This section has to be negotiated twice and isn't recommended for Scouts, especially considering they will likely be pretty tired at these points in their ride.  

Highlights of Trip:

• Sammamish River

• EasTrail Gravel Trail

• Totem Lake Wetland

• TotemLake Loopy Bridge

• Google Complex

• 520 Bridge

• Cheshiahud Lake Union Loop

• Fremont Cut (waterway)

• Ballard Troll at Nordic Center

• Ballard Locks - if you choose to detour

• Shilshole Bay

• Views of Puget Sound at Golden Gardens

• Ice-cream at Golden Gardens

• Burke Gillman ride to Start/End Point

Near the Center of Wooden Boats, these birds seemed to be very interested in what we had for lunch
