Welcome to the San Juan Islands
Meet your guides at our first hotel in the quaint seaside town of Friday Harbor. We’ll kick things off with a bike fitting and safety review, then pedal to a picnic lunch overlooking Puget Sound. Then it’s time for our first fantastic ride: take a spin around Pear Point and pass driftwood-strewn Jackson Beach. Opt for some extra miles if you’re warmed up and ready to keep riding, or choose to head back to Friday Harbor House. This evening, join your guides for a welcome drink followed by a harbor view dinner at our hotel.

Tour de Lopez
This morning we move on from San Juan Island and make our way to Lopez Island. With 63 miles of shoreline and just 2,500 year-round residents, this 15-mile landmass is known as the “Friendly Isle.” We’ll cover most of it on a loop ride through forests and rolling farmlands with quiet bays and beaches in our midst; our route follows the annual Tour de Lopez, a celebrated event for local cyclists. We’ll pause for a picnic-style lunch, then visit a glassblower’s workshop to discover artisans at work on the island. This afternoon, hop a ferry to Orcas Island—our last stop in the San Juans. Ride your bike right off the ferry or hop in the van and head directly to our next hotel, which occupies a private bay at the foot of Mount Constitution. Tonight, explore historic Eastsound before joining your guides for dinner at our favorite local spot.
