Take in awesome Western Washington scenery with three loops based out of Redmond.
Day 1 takes you up to Bellingham and back. Enjoy the centennial trail, scenic Chuckanut drive, the Skagit valley, and the waterfront on either side of Lake Washington. ~403K
Day 2 heads northeast to Darrington, then makes a counterclockwise arc through Concrete, Day Creek and Conway, following a variation on the "Three Rivers" route. So watch for the Stillaguamish (South Fork, North Fork and their confluence), Sauk and Skagit rivers—as well as the Sammamish, Snohomish and Pilchuck. ~352K
Day 3 encompasses Lake Sammamish, Lake Washington, Mercer Island and Orting to the south. The Interurban and Foothills trails offer a bit of nice carfree riding. ~247K
This ride is a great opportunity for recent PBP finishers (Anciens/Anciennes) to wrap up (or work toward) an
ACP Randonneur 5000 or
ACP Randonneur 10000 award.
