Join me for a two night/three day bike packing loop around the Tahuya Peninsula.
Due to insurance requirements this ride is open for club members only.
Itinerary:
Monday 7/28: We'll catch the fast ferry from Pier 50 to Southworth at 8:05 and ride a relatively easy paved 30 mile/1,500 feet route to Belfair State Park - stopping en route for coffee and lunch and picking up supplies in Belfair. Camp at Belfair State Park.
Tuesday 7/29: The route around Tahuya Peninsula will be a hilly 45 miles/2,800 feet with five miles of gravel road. This route has low traffic, especially beyond the little village of Tahuya, and is very scenic. We will pick up a pizza and/or dinner supplies in Seabeck before climbing up the hill to Scenic Beach State Park.
Wednesday 7/30: From Scenic Beach to Bremerton where we can take either the car ferry or the Kitsap fast ferry back to Seattle - 18 miles/1,400 Ft.
