Bike Trips
For bike enthusiasts of all levels, custom tailor your vacation with one of these exciting trips along the Olympic Discovery Trail.
Ride One:
Ride One:
The Out and Back
Stay in Port Angeles and have breakfast with your B&B host or restaurant in town. Then head east on the Olympic Discovery Trail for the community of Sequim. During this ride, you can divert to the Dungeness Spit for a hike, picnic at one of the tables on the bluff overlooking the Strait with Victoria in the distance, or stop into the Audubon Center at Railroad Bridge Park and learn about our local bird population.
Ride Two:
The B&B Cycle Cruise
Certainly a very relaxing way to experience the Olympic Discovery Trail is to combine the ride with two nights of lodging. Night one stay in Port Angeles at one the B&Bs and have dinner at your choice of many great restaurants that are throughout town. Check with your B&B host or the Chamber of Commerce for restaurants that are close to where you are staying.
After breakfast with your host, pick up a picnic lunch and hop on the bike and head east on the Olympic Discovery Trail. When you reach Old Olympic Highway, turn south off the trail for the short ride to the Olympic Cellars Winery, which is located just east of the corner of 101 and Old Olympic Highway. Relax and enjoy the spectacular views of the Olympic Range, then sample some of the terrific wines in the comfortable surroundings of the tasting room.
Then, it's on to your B&B along the bluffs. You have a choice of either Domain Madeline, Colette's, or B.Js Garden Gate. Pamper yourself with an in room massage or just enjoy the spectacular views out over the Strait. Dinner can be as simple as ordering a pizza, or just call a cab and have dinner at one of the local restaurants.
The next day, finish your ride on the Discovery Trail to Sequim and out to the John Wayne Marina. There are several choices for lunch along the route.
Then, you can either take the Clallam Transit bus back to Port Angeles ( they have bike racks) or take the 25 mile trail back. ( Clallam Transit does not operate on Sundays) Be sure to stop and enjoy the views and relax while sitting by the several streams you will be crossing over. Of course the last few miles as you enter Port Angeles are memorable as you cruise right along the water.
Ride Three
International Cycle
Make it a full week of biking after visiting Port Angeles. Put your bike on the Coho Ferry for biking adventures in Victoria, where terrific biking awaits you. Remember you will be needing to clear customs, so it is helpful to have a passport or birth certificate and photo ID.
