La Conner Hub and Spoke Tour July 29 – August 2, 2019
Join us for a 5 day hub-and-spoke tour in the Skagit Valley for some rides in the country. Though this area is known for its spectacular tulip fields, we’ll be going long after they’ve passed their prime. Terrain will vary from flat to rolling, with a pace of 20-25km/hr and distances of 70-100km per day. Fortunately, many of these rides can be shortened for those who prefer a shorter day, but prepared to be on your own. Most of the rides leave from La Conner save one, so be prepared to drive/catch a ride/bike to Mt. Vernon for one of them. Accommodations will be at LaConner RV and Camping Resort, with its myriad options from cabins to tenting. If sharing a tent site, there is the possibility of sharing cooking costs and duties. Lunches will be on the road.

RSVP Teresa by June 30 if you’re interested and what your accommodation plans are.
$25 deposit to hold your spot if you are tent camping.
Limit 12 riders
6 of us went on this tour, full of big views, big winds, and big meals. Thanks to everyone to came and contributed to the merriment. Great weather except the last day, when it rained and there was no ride planned. Colin had a mechanical issue, but was able to diagnose and fix it, saving him from aborting what was probably the best ride of the trip. Kudos to Colin, Will, and David for riding down. Thanks to Dorothy for being a good sport and driving Will and David’s gear to the campsite. I really appreciated drafting behind the stronger riders when the wind picked up. Great group effort- medals for everyone!
