Shaw Island Bike Ride – All Ages;
Depart Friday Harbor on the 11:35 a.m. ferry, and return by 5:05 p.m., Sunday, July 31.
Join Island Rec for a FREE summer ride on lovely, bike-friendly Shaw Island! Take the ferry for free on your bikes and choose to ride either the several longer loop rides on the island, or ride the easy two-mile fairly level, paved roads to the Shaw County Park. Bring a picnic and enjoy an afternoon at the sandy beach! An Island Rec ‘sag wagon’ will follow riders to make sure no flat tires or other issues stop anyone from getting to the park or back home. Everyone will meet at the Shaw ferry landing to review the map, route and check their gear and bikes. If you’ve never had the chance to check out Shaw Island, this is a great way to do so. No pre-registration is required, just come with your helmets and bikes! All young riders must have a parent or guardian with them.
*Please check islandrec.org in July for any potential ferry schedule changes for this event.
