San Juan Island Ride
Riders are up at the crack of dawn to catch the ferry
to the San Juan Islands. Up but not all awake yet.
|
Coming into Friday Harbor though gets even the sleepy ones
wide awake and on their bicycles, ready for a fun day of cycling.
|
First stop is Roche Harbor, a nice location
for early morning snacks and "coffee".
|
After getting a wake up 'Cup of Joe' everyone is off and running
for some fun and excitement on San Juan Island.
|
The island is a great place for cycling because of plenty of
scenic vistas of Puget Sound and low traffic rolling country roads.
|
A favorite stop for all is Lime Kiln Point State Park
which is by far the best whale watching point on the island.
|
After checking out the whales everyone heads south to Cattle Point
to San Juan Island National Historic Park.
|
Its fun to see whales swimming and having fun but it is
even more fun to join them so members do just that.
|
After getting everyone out of the water, a quick accounting is done
to make sure no one is left behind and then its back to cycling.
|
As all coming streaming into Friday Harbor they make a quick
run for the local pub for raw oysters and ale.
|
Another fun day of cycling is at and end and all board the ferry
for home and thoughts of their next adventure to come.
