Follow all traffic laws:
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. Make sure your bike is tuned up and in good condition before the ride.
Call 911 for emergencies. BIKES Club volunteers will be driving the route to assist riders as SAG support. Give them a "thumbs up" if you are OK. SAG drivers will be able to help with flats or transport riders if needed.
SAG coordinator: 425-239-8700 to request assistance (day of ride only). Please be patient as SAG drivers have a lot of rural roads to drive safely.
Camano Island Ham radio volunteers will be stationed at each of our food stops to facilitate communications.
