The Tour de Lavender, the first Saturday in August, is the largest cycling event on the Olympic Peninsula--and it has something for every cyclist, regardless of experience.
The Tour de Lavender Metric Century is for cyclists seeking a challenge or who want to push themselves to a personal best record in terms of distance or time—or both. The route is mostly over level or gently rolling terrain but incorporates several more challenging hill climbs. It follows backcountry roads and segments of the region’s premier scenic bikeway, the Olympic Discovery Trail. Elevation gained on the route is more than 2,000 feet.
The Fun Ride on the Tour de Lavender is for cyclists looking for a more casual, relaxed ride. The route is over mostly level terrain, between local lavender farms, on lightly traveled country roads. It finishes on the car-free Olympic Discovery Trail, the Peninsula’s crown jewel of scenic bikeways.
At the end of your ride, enjoy Domino’s Pizza and Beverages with your fellow riders and volunteers.
