Today's Vashon ride is a go. Probability of rain has decreased from the 90% predicted a few days ago to almost zero. Bring a rain jacket anyway.
Join us on June 15th for a pleasant ride on the quiet, albeit hilly, backroads of Vashon Island.
Ride brief will be on the 9:25 AM ferry out of Fauntleroy. Arrive early enough to park, ride to ferry and acquire your ticket at the KIOSK at the end of the pier. Do not go to the automobile ticket both. If you have an ORCA card, the ticket taker on the dock will scan your card. No need to go to the KIOSK.
Park at the south end of the first parking area for Lincoln Park you come to when driving south on Fauntleroy Way SW. DO NOT park in the smaller parking lot to the south of the larger lot. This lot has time limits on parking. Ferry is a short downhill ride from the parking lots. Go directly to the end of the pier to the bike holding area.
There will be an extended snack and bathroom room break around mile point 14. Option for a late lunch burrito feed in the town of Vashon (mile point 31) before taking the return ferry.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
All riders must register. Helmets are required. Rides are open to non-members. Please check us out. Non-members are limited to one “free” ride as our insurance requires they become a member.

Weather conditions can and will change, be prepared. In addition, please also bring safe riding skills and good road manners.
