Planning for the Summer Trip through the San Juan Islands and Southern Gulf Islands

Starting Saturday afternoon, Pam and I will be off on the biggest bicycle trip either one of us has ever done. We are pretty much packed, yet I'm sure that we will be honing it until the moment we roll down the driveway.

The best method/application to create the route and help with figuring out elevation changes was RidewithGPS.com. It cost $50 for an annual membership, but nothing else I found fit the bill. I wanted cue sheets and maps with elevation graphs. Below are links to our daily maps.

  1. Nice small chunks of mileage. Should leave you two plenty of time to site see. Good luck. Be safe

    1. They seems like nice small chunks of mileage when I did the planning, but as I'll show later it didn't work out that way due to the hills being such a large component of the terrain.
