Threading the Needle
Riding from Bainbridge Island to Deception Pass over bridges, on ferries, and on quiet roads
By the Numbers
✅ Ride from BI to Deception Pass and back in one day.
Our plan had been to ride a full loop north to La Conner and back down to Seattle but for a number of reasons we switched gears to a long out-and-back.
Some excellent cafes along the way:
- Seal Dog
- Filled our water bottles!
- Pane d’Amore
- Fig Anise bread!
- Little Red Hen
- Veggie & ice cream sandwich!
