Chilly Hilly
Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012
With chilly February weather and 2,675 feet of Hilly climbing, the name says it all!
Chilly Hilly has been kicking off the cycling season in the Northwest for the past 39 years. The 33-mile route around Bainbridge Island starts with an early morning ferry ride across Puget Sound from Seattle or you can join the crowd directly on Bainbridge Island.
Join us on Sunday, Feb. 26 for the ride Bicycling Magazine named "One of Four Classic Rides" in the nation! Guaranteed to be hilly, chilly and a heck of a lot of fun.
Course is open from 8 a.m to 3 p.m. If you are taking the ferry over from Seattle, the ride starts when you get off the ferry. If you are starting on Bainbridge Island, the ride starts at the top of the ferry off-ramp on Winslow Way.
Enjoy:
- A scenic cruise on a Washington State Ferry
- Free baked goods & hot cider at the American Legion Hall Hot Cider Food Stop
- Supporting 10 local Bainbridge Island charities
- Finish Line Festival with fantastic chili feed that is a fundraiser for the Squeaky Wheels Bicycling Club.
