Gig Harbor - Port Orchard Loop

Join us for a pretty and hilly loop from Gig Harbor to Port Orchard. 

The group will meet at the Kimball Drive Park and Ride, at the corner near the Wilco and the trailhead.  Introductions and a safety briefing at 8am in the parking lot and we'll start riding when that's done.  If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.

Pace is "moderate"  - defined by the club as 14-16 miles per hour on flats without wind. Similar effort on hills, but we will be traveling faster or slower depending on the terrain and wind and will regroup after hills and before turns if we are spread out. 

Washrooms are available at the start. We'll also stop at Olalla Bay Market (mile 13) Pomeroy Park in Manchester (mile 28.5) and  Port Orchard Waterfront Park (mile 36.5). 

Helmets required. Other items to bring: water, snacks, ID, charged cell phone, cash and credit card, ORCA card, supplies to fix a flat or other minor mechanical, fenders on your bike should the roads be wet. 

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancelation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the ride will be canceled. Canceled rides will be noted in the title of the ride post and registered riders will be sent a notification by email. If the ride is canceled more than two hours before the start time, the ride leader will not be at the start. 

Feel free to reach out to the ride leader before the day of the ride (contact information in post) or add a comment if you have any questions.
