This hilly & beautiful Vashon Island tour features back roads, little traffic and water views.  NOTE: BEST FOR EXPERIENCED RIDERS.

Bring money for the ferry trip and park in the UPPER/NORTH parking lot at Lincoln Park (the lower lot has a time limit) where we will meet at 9:00 before boarding the 9:30 Vashon Ferry.  If you miss us at the parking lot, join us at the ferry dock.

There are few services on this rural island, so bring adequate snacks, as we will burn calories.   Our food break is in Burton where you have espresso stand and general store options, (and porta potty) but little more; you might want to bring a sandwich.

Moderate pace, best for experienced riders; 14-16 MPH on flat with no wind; faster downhill and slower up, with occasional regrouping.

I will not be at the start if weather conditions are not suitable for riding, and I will post a notice in the Comments Section at least 2 hours prior.

To register and sign the waiver, click on the RED REGISTER NOW button at the top of this page.  Note that online registration requires a free Cascade Bicycle Club account, but if you don’t have/don’t want one, you can manually sign in on location.

Comments

This is like a "mini Passport2Pain"!  I hope the weather holds up as it is currently forecast - Vashon is an absolutely beautiful place to ride.

The map shows the route going around the north side of Maury and up the center, then reversing to return by the same route. Is this your plan, or is it just a one-directional loop?
