The 4th Annual Tour De Whatcom

Young boy on bike

Come join us for Tour de Whatcom, a bike ride to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County. In 2008 we raised OVER $15,000 for the kids!! Choose the length of your ride - 25, 50 or 105 miles, perfect for a family outing and serious riders alike.

Lots of fresh fruit, breakfast cookies and Powerade will be available at fantastic rest stops. Rest stops every 20 miles for 105 route and every 12.5 miles for the 25 & 50 mile routes. Plenty of Erin Baker’s Wholesome Baked Goods, bananas, oranges, apples, Powerade and Coke along the way. 25 mile route is very flat. 50 mile route has one only short hill (1/2 mile 4.6% grade) plus some rollers. 105 has just one hill (Old Samish Dr 3% grade for 5 miles).

The rides are awesome. You get to see everything: Mt Baker, Lake Whatcom, valleys, rivers, lush farmland, beaches and Puget Sound all in one fairly level ride. Bike Techs from Joe's Sports and Robert’s Bicycle Repair will be available for free safety checks and *quick* repairs (parts are at your expense). Motorcycles will be cruising the routes to make sure all are safe. Trucks are on call to pick up anyone needing a lift. $10 surcharge for day-of registrations so please register online. Beautiful ride for a great cause! Celebrate in Fairhaven after.
