SOME OF THE ROUTES ARE TRICKY TO NAVIGATE, READ UP ON THIS IMPORTANT INFO HERE

Start Times: We get it, mass starts are not for everyone. You are welcome to leave early, or to hang back a bit, just please be sure to get on the road before 10:30 am.

End Times: BREAK STATIONS WILL CLOSE, AND SUPPORT AND GEAR (SAG) DRIVERS WILL LEAVE THE ROAD AT 6:30 PM.

GPS Info: Elevation gains predicted by the Ride with GPS (RWGPS) app are approximations. The actual elevation gains may be subject to individual variances due to differences in watch/cell phone data (as well as interference from trees etc).  There is also an error that may tell you to turn right on Hwy 20, which would have you go over the Deception Pass bridge.  None of our routes go that far north, please keep that in mind, just in case it's not updated prior to the ride (we can't control this part, sorry). 

Break Stations: The Tour de Whidbey is fully supported. We have 10 break stations from Clinton to Cornet Bay. Each break station is well stocked with drinks and snacks to keep you fueled. 

Safety Tips: Once on course, you are considered to be on a private excursion and are responsible for any assistance or support during the ride. Please obey the rules of the road at all times. RIDERS MUST RIDE IN A SINGLE FILE LINE AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT RIDE SIDE BY SIDE AT ANY TIME. You will be riding on curvy country public roads that you will be sharing with several other vehicles including buses and heavy trucks. We want you to be safe, so watch for course markings, use your head, and stay alert. The event sponsors, organizers, promoters, staff and anyone having anything to do with this event cannot legally be responsible for your safety or wellbeing. With that in mind, we do have a great support team for you!

Support and Gear (SAG) Team: our Support and Gear (SAG) drivers travel up and down the island keeping an eye out for you, working with a team of radio operators monitoring the route. We will always try our best to support you as much as we can.

Mechanical Help: We will have some tools at registration and each break station will have patch kits and bike pumps. Our SAG drivers are also available to pick you and your bike up and get you to the nearest bike shop.

Electric bikes? Yes! Tour de Whidbey is not a race. We love ALL our riders, and we encourage everyone to come out and enjoy our beautiful island.

Road Conditions: Be sure to check Ride with GPS for any updates to maps, road conditions and routes.

Helmets: It is required that you wear an CPSC or ASTM certified helmet at all times while riding.
