Tandemnistas ride the Whidbey Island loop

Come join us on a beautiful Whidbey Island Loop ride. We'll take the 8:00am ferry from Mukilteo. Sign in and meet us and your fellow riders on the ferry. We will do our usual route including Clinton, Coupeville, Deception Pass, La Conner, Stanwood and back to Mukilteo. This is always a fun and interesting ride. And it's great training for the more difficult summer rides such as the one-day STP. Total elevation gain is only about 4400', which is hillier than STP, but nothing like riding in the mountains. You'll need ferry fare, lunch money, and the tubes, tools, etc. necessary for self-sufficiency.

While this is a group ride, we expect the riders to get spread out. We will not attempt to regroup everyone, nor do we expect riders to wait for us. We have listed the ride as Brisk, but we are an old tandem team and do not climb at the usual Brisk pace. We will ride at our 1-day STP pace, which is middle of the pack, so we expect some riders to be in front of us and some behind. 

All riders are welcome, but note, this ride does not regroup nor does it have a sweep. This ride is designed for the experienced rider who is comfortable following cue sheets and riding independently. We stress safe and cooperative riding.

Note that we can no longer park in the Lighthouse Park lot. The City has put a 4-hour time limit on parking there. We suggest parking at the Mukilteo Elementary School at 2600 Mukilteo Speedway, Mukilteo, WA 98275 or street parking in Mukilteo.
