i do a gravel mixed surface century trail ride out of seattle that goes Burke-Gilman to the Tolt, to the SVT, then to Snoqualmie Falls and the trestle over the river, then back down to snoqualmie, then along the preston connectors down to Issaquah to the eastlake Sammammish trail and return to seattle.
90 percent off road, maybe 60 percent gravel? Starting in Marymoor and including the Iron horse option and maybe a little wandering towards black diamond could get you to a 200k i suspect with a lot of out there. i think the iron horse alone is over 60k round trip from rattlesnake lane to the tunnel.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I took a quick zip around some of the Redmond Ridge trail network last night, from the Pipeline trail at the crest of Novelty Hill connecting to the Watershed trail which put me out on 133rd near Lake of the Woods subdivision. What a great series of trails, and my 32mm tires didn't have a bit of problem with it.
Bek - do you have a cue sheet for that century ride? I'd love to add some miles to it and make a 'mostly trails' 200k route for SiR.
