TRAVELING TIPS

If you are coming for a day trip, you will want to board the 8:45am sailing for Lopez from Anacortes and can return on the 5:05 or 5:40pm boat from Lopez. Please arrive 45mins early to allow time for parking and ticketing. Thanks to cooperation from WSF & Diamond Parking, parking in the upper lot will be free for TDL participants Thursday thru Sunday. Please put your participant pass (you should have gotten this in the mail packet) in your front windshield.

The full schedule of ferry times to/from Lopez are listed below for your planning purposes. Please note that the 12:40pm to Lopez and 1:40pm leaving Lopez each day is for Lopez only – this means it takes at least 150 cars.

 After unloading off the ferry, you will have a short ride to Odlin Park for check-in. EVERYONE MUST CHECK-IN TO RECEIVE YOUR LUNCH TICKET AND ROUTE MAP. Volunteers will be along the roadway to direct you to registration/check-in. Early check-in for those arriving before Saturday will be available from 5-8pm at the Art Opening & Wine Tasting at Pt. Stanley Schoolhouse. Pre-ordered T-shirts will be available for pick-up.

The 3 bike routes (10, 17 & 31 miles) are clearly marked with our brightly painted recycled bicycles and signs. Please stay on the marked routes and obey all traffic signs. We encourage everyone to wear a helmet, be courteous and stay to the right single file or in small groups. We have several points of interest and activities along the routes. Take your time and enjoy the side detours as you make your way down our Island. Just be sure to arrive in the Village Park for lunch by the Bay Café served from 1-3pm.

If you are making this a weekend visit, we hope you will enjoy some of the other activities in our community. Please see the enclosed flyer listing other events and highlights. ENJOY YOUR RIDE!
