About riding in Washington
Washington covers the wet, green west side around Puget Sound, the Cascade mountains and the dry eastern plateau. Riding is best from late spring through early fall, with the driest and sunniest weather in summer.
Estimated finish times
The route is about 100 miles. Here is the moving time at a steady average speed. It is a flat-ground baseline: climbing, wind, stops at aid stations and group riding all move the real number, so treat it as a starting range.
| Average speed | Moving time |
|---|---|
| 10 mph | 10h 00m |
| 12 mph | 8h 20m |
| 14 mph | 7h 09m |
| 16 mph | 6h 15m |
| 18 mph | 5h 33m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
