Kingston-Indianola-Hansville Loop

• ·        Join us for a low-key backroads ride on the Kitsap Peninsula, Saturday, May 18^th.  We will be doing a clockwise loop starting in the exotic port of Kingston, heading south through the hamlet of Indianola continuing on with a lunch stop at the northern end of the loop in Hansville.  Hansville has a small grocery store and café with outdoor seating. And, by popular demand, a not-to-be missed visit to Point No Point Light House to see the point, or not. 
• ·        Sign in will be on the 9:35 AM ferry out of Edmonds.  Arrive early enough to find parking, ride to ferry and acquire your ticket.  Areas around the ferry, waterfront and downtown core have time limited parking restrictions.  Park outside this zone. 
• ·        Pace: mostly moderate with some low brisk stretches.  Will pause or slow the pace at the top of hills to allow for regroup.
• ·        Route: Approximately 38 miles, 2800 ft elevation gain.  Please print out your own cue sheet. COGS_Indianola-Hansville_Loop_2019.pdf  GPS download at: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29840826
