Wiggly trails, so good solo route.  Share with Robert.  12 miles around the triangle to Wirth Pkwy, bathroom break in a friendly GV store at 18, ignore map and take Med Lake Trl straight to Elm Crk clubhouse, bike-friendly bathroom in the clubhouse at about 38 (call ahead & check - else find a gas station before the park), go around the park, bathroom again at about 52 if necessary (requires some backtracking but probably worth it), then 20 miles home!  It's 3.5 miles home down Marshall from the bridge, so add any distance necessary by going back up the E river road trail after crossing the bridge.
