Itinerary description

Show original

It is not to advertise, because it is the only place where they rent bicycles, we started the adventure in the Wildlife Cycles store, located in the town of Eastsound on North Beach road. From there we go up to the airport but we turn left onto Enchanted Forest Rd. We go to the end to West Beach where there is a beach and an aúpa resort. Stop forced. Ultra beautiful place. We continue the journey through Crow Valley Rd and we come across the School Museum, it is worth knowing how they lived in 1900 ... then we went through beautiful farms surrounded by forests to West Sound. Here it is worth taking the picture with the port and enjoy the views. Then comes the uncomfortable part, go to Orcas Rd, frequented by cars, but thank God with hard shoulder to go a little safer. We stopped at Orcas Village, it is worth at least to take the picture. We eat a convincing potato omelette sandwich (live the cook, my wife). They close at 5:30 p.m. so we can not have coffee. We continue on Killebrew Lake Rd and turn left onto a gravel road that passes through Martin Lake and Diamond Lake until it becomes a road called Dolphin Bay Rd. This intersects with the main one, Orcas Rd, and the latter stretch, it is not pleasant ... a lot of car and fast .... but it is what there is ... back to town and end of an adventure that if it is not for the delivery time we could have been much more.
