McClinchy PARTICIPANT iNFORMATION

Route Options & Maps

Every route is marked on the pavement with colored-coded "Dan Henrys" at all turns. At check-in we will ask what route you expect to ride. For the longer routes, it is easy to cut your ride short if you change your plans along the way. 

Please visit the Maps & Navigation page for route maps and RideWithGPS download information. 

Rest Stop Times & Locations

Our rest stops offer food, water, restrooms, and friendly volunteers. Stops are timed to open and close based on Century riders starting by 8 a.m. and all others starting between 8 and 11 a.m. Do not start early or linger too long.

Bonhoeffer Gardens - First stop for Century riders (blue loop). Open 8 to 10 a.m.

Stanwood Middle School - Food stop open 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Cama Beach State Park - Offers food, a shelter and restrooms. Open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

SAG & Mechanical Support

Make sure your bike is tuned up and in good condition before the ride. Bike mechanics will be at the check-in at Stanwood Middle School and at the Cama Beach rest stop. They may be able to help with minor repairs. Thanks to Arlington Velosport and Sharing Wheels Community Bike Shop.

SAG Support:  Volunteer SAG drivers will be roaming the routes to help with flats or transport riders if needed.  Give them a "thumbs up" if you are OK. We will post a SAG coordinator number on the day of the ride - you may call to request assistance. Please be patient as SAG drivers have a lot of rural roads to drive safely.

Call 911 for emergencies. 

Ham radio volunteers will be stationed at each of our food stops to facilitate communications.

Rider Health & Safety

Like other recreational bicycle events, you will be sharing the road with vehicle traffic. We do not recommend this ride for children under 16. Helmets are required while biking, and riders must follow all traffic laws and group riding safety practices - such as

• yielding the right of way at intersections,
• sharing the road with vehicles and other riders
• riding single file when traffic approaches, and
• ringing a bell or saying "hi" when passing another rider - "on your left"

Please stay home if you feel sick. 

Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer at rest stops before touching food or eating.
