Experience a true Cyclists' Weekend! Cycle the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsula and tour the world-loved Sequim Lavender Farms on a unique metric century ride. Starting in Kingston in Kitsap County, you will experience rolling hills as you cycle along State Hwy 104 through Port Gamble, a 19th century "Company Town" at the head of Gamble Bay. Cross the spectacular Hood Canal Floating Bridge on the NEW BICYCLE LANES into Jefferson County, and climb up and over the ridge to Discovery Bay and a support rest/food stop. From there, it's an exhilarating ride on rolling hills into Clallam County where you will continue on the famed Olympic Discovery Trail to the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribal Headquarters and the Longhouse food stop in Blyn and then on to the center of Sequim. From there you have three options: end the ride and relax (74 km), complete your Metric Century with a tour of several Lavender Farms, or tour a few more farms and bike past the Olympic Game Farm before returning to Sequim (130 km). Regardless of which ride you select, you will experience a fantastic cycling experience. See the website for additional information.
