Vashon - A ferry ride, some hills & Snapdragon Bakery (NOTE--Daylight Saving Time)

Regretfully cancelled this ride last month, so as promised, here it is, rescheduled....

Vashon! We'll meet at the ferry dock near Point Defiance (Tacoma) at 9:45am to take the 10:05am ferry (ferry schedule linked below) to Tahlequah (the south end of the Island). Crossing time is about 15 minutes. We'll ride some hills and stop at Snapdragon Bakery at around mile 16. Then some more hills and lovely views and back to the ferry. Ride with GPS route map is linked below - you can download it or print a cue sheet from it if you like.  From experience, I am certain that I will not be the fastest hill climber - we will be regrouping at the tops and bottoms of hills.
