Blinking taillights are permitted, but note that these may bother other riders.

Reflective vests and leg bands are required for riding at night or during poor visibility. This is for your safety and others in the group.

Hand held flashlights or helmet mounted lights are recommended for repairs made in the dark.

As a courtesy to other riders, fenders (with 1/4 coverage front wheel and 1/2 coverage rear wheel) are recommended. Additional rear splashguards are recommended for group riding.

Route Description: We will make a complete circuit of the Olympic Peninsula. From the start in Kingston, we�ll head across the Hood Canal Bridge and follow SR-104 and US-101 to Port Angeles. From there we�ll take the Strait of Juan de Fuca Highway (SR-112) to Clallam Bay and then south back to US-101. The route passes through Folks, Kalalock, and Amanda Park on the way to the overnight stop in Aberdeen. From Aberdeen we go east on US-12 and back roads to McCleary and Kamilche, where the route picks up US-101 again for the trip up the west side of the Hood Canal back to the bridge and the finish at Kingston.
