Tour de Whidbey is the Pacific Northwest's Number One Cycling Event -
Great Route, "to die for" Scenery and Unbelievable Support.
|
Unlike other cycling events Tour de Whidbey
starts with a Pancake Breakfast and ends with a Chili Dinner.
|
To go with the before and after ride meals, the ride
has more rest stops than a cyclist could ever want.
|
The rest stops are like no other, where cyclists can not only
get good food, but have their glasses cleaned.
|
The food and service though aren't what brings out the cyclists.
It's the non-stop scenery, every turn in the road.
|
Whidbey Island is the most scenic island in Puget Sound and
there is just no way to describe it - you have to see it for yourself.
|
To go with this scenery are literally hundreds of miles of sparsely
traveled rural roads with challenges for every level of rider.
|
There are ups and downs on the Whidbey that will challenge
even the most experienced Ramrod Cyclist.
|
There are also gently rolling roads for the beginning cyclist,
just starting out.
|
The route runs past miles of scenic inland farms
as well as miles of Puget Sound shoreline.
|
The route passes early Puget Sound Settlements
and original Northwest Naval Stockades and Fortresses.
|
With luck riders will get to see the best in Kite Flying Competitions
as well as evening Jazz Concerts if they stay over the night.
|
Whidbey Island just has the best of everything and
is one fun place to cycle.
|
The only downside is when you are close to the end of the ride
and the end of your stay, it's time to go home.
|
But, don't forget the Chili Dinner. You won't go home hungry
and it will be served with a smile.
|
And, don't forget to say goodbye to all the wonderful
new friends that you have made on such a fun ride.
