Join us for the 17th Annual “Tour de Lopez”. This is a great eco-friendly, family event - come for the day or come for the weekend. It's a non-competitive rural road tour with marked short and long routes (3.1, 5, 10, 18 and 31 miles), on public county roads through the scenic landscape of Lopez. Registration includes the Saturday ride, 3 refueling rest areas with yummy treats, a wonderful plastic-free buffet lunch, live music and a beer garden highlighting our local brewery. Be sure to register early as this is typically a sell-out event with limited registration. WSDOT Ferry system is providing 4 days of free parking for the event so make sure and take advantage of this gas-saving opportunity!

The tour routes are marked with our unique recycled bicycles - designated rest areas have water, snacks and restrooms. The lunch is served from 11:30am-2:30pm at Bargreen’s field next to the Blue Heron Bistro. For those on a day trip, the ride back to the ferry landing is about 4.5 miles from the Village.
