The ride starts in historic Fairhavenand will offer 3 tiers of racing... a 25 mile loop, a 50 mile loop, and a 105 mile loop. The Tour will appease your senses with vistas of Puget Sound, Mt. Baker, rivers, valleys, and beaches with most of the riding consisting of fairly low grade.

The will be a great support staff providing tech support, pit stop refreshments, and road support. This is a race for beginners to experts...something for everyone.
