Sat 27: Tour de Lopez bike ride 2019.

Had came across it and I had booked it week or so before. Have been to many other islands and have done plenty things, most hikes ,camping etc but never got chance to explore Lopez Island and this seemed to be the best way to explore entire island and have nice bike ride too.

Left around 5.30 ish in the morning, it was nice to have added ferry service and detour to the Island. reached around start time & for tag pickup nice warmup climb, later road was nice with plenty rolling hills , some gravel roads, number of volunteers, rest stops with bites to grab. Weather turned out really good sunny but had a windchill especially all those riding to Agate beach know it well. It was beautiful though. After finishing the
island loop the lunch provided in village was great , band was nice. Just explored some shops in village & biked down to ferry terminal , some
deers who crossed the street when on downhill, eagles soaring above, rabbits jumping around. Kind of (slow paced in the sense of living) island, really bike friendly & probably everyone knows everyone else kind.


No this time never did any riding on road before at all, just some my own spin rides in gym of some miles. Glad could do it & thanks to everyone.

Got back on 5 o'clock ferry and back in town around 7.30 ish.

Sun 28: Well after today morning's pointless driving around and doing some 8 miles on Sammamish river trail, feels like would have been nice if had taken long weekend in connection to yesterday on Island and done something else.
