Best of Northwest 99 Bike Ride Directions (50 mile route)

Best of Northwest 1999 (50 mile route)

Back to RAMROD 2001 homepage

This ride was voted "best of northwest 99" by Washington Conservation Voters. It starts at Woodland Park in Fremont and goes from out from there and ends back there. It is approximately 50 miles. There is a 100 mile version which I'll post soon. Here are the directions, with mileage readings in parentheses. Mileage readings end at a certain point because you diverge from 100 mile route and I don't have those mileage readings yet.
