Three Ferries and a Bridge - FRUMPS

Join us on this social/recreational boat, bike and bridge ride starting at the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal en route to Southworth (Ferry 1). From there, we will head south through Gig Harbor on the way to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (Bridge); the views from the bridge are spectacular provided clear skies and we can stop for photo ops. Once in Tacoma, we head to Pt Defiance where we will stop for a lunch break and a side trip through the park. After lunch we board the Pt Defiance/Tahlequah ferry to Vashon Island (Ferry 2). We head north to the Vashon Ferry Terminal and back to our starting point (Ferry 3).

The ride is classified as Moderate, but given the hilly nature of the ride, that classification has less meaning. Be prepared to climb hills and if you have any doubts about your abilities, it may be best to wait for next year's ride. We encourage riders to climb at their own pace and plan for the long haul. We will not leave anyone behind. We will regroup at the top of hills for some stretching and refueling.

This ride departs on the 9:30 Fauntleroy/Southworth ferry from the Fauntleroy ferry terminal (see map). Purchase one-way tickets at the terminal ticket office before boarding. Look for ride members in the holding area at the terminal. Park in the lot furthest from the terminal entrance and bike to the ferry.

In case of bad weather, the ride leaders will not be at the start.  We will post a cancelation if necessary here in the comments section two hours prior to the ride start.
