- Mile 27: Pit toilet at Bayview State Park. Water is usually available.
- Mile 32: Toilet at Samish Island Park

It's a long day out on the bike. Bring plenty of water. Bring extra plenty of snacks and a lunch. You can pick up items in La Conner, at the gas station near the highway 20 bridge, and Edison, but bring something even if you plan to pick things up along the way. Bring the usual fix-it stuff - especially flat repair type fix-it stuff since we'll be out and about for a while.
Disclaimers: Bad weather cancels. E-bike welcome, please read and comply with the club e-bike policy.
