Let's meet up at the Seafarer's Memorial Park, https://maps.app.goo.gl/hiWpwimsjSgZ1QhK7 in Anacortes.
Then, let's take a relatively direct route to the Guemes Ferry Terminal.
IOW, no trip up to Cap Sante Park for a fantastic photo op and no countless corners to turn regardless of how fun they are.
Just a nice easy mosey to the ferry, where, by the way no cash is accepted.
Go to your app store and download the Guemes Ferry App to your phone then purchase your ticket/s via the app. Slick and easy.
Or, purchase your ferry fare online https://gettix.getanchor.io/guemesislandferry/index.html or at the office dockside; cards & contactless only, no cash, but you've read that before.
Tuesday's ride will be shorter than some. This is a ride, not a race. Yes, there may be some faster riders who would like to pull ahead, but generally the pace of the larger body of riders will be in the 10-13mph range. No one, not a soul, will be left behind.
Both e-bikes and acoustic are welcome.
Safe bike handling skills are required.
E-bike riders can expect to ride at a pedal bike social pace of 12-15 mph.
Faster riders feel free to pull ahead as a group.
Helmets and more are required:
· Download the Ride with GPS route
· Front and rear lights (suggested)
· Flat kit with bike multi-tool
· Water and snacks
· Fully charged phone
· ID and emergency contact info
· and Proficiency using all the above

Let's aim for the 10:45 ferry to Guemes, 1:08 PM for return.
After our return to the larger island, we'll get a bite to eat at Gere-a Deli. A wonderful gathering spot for lunch.
Looking forward to seeing you on another one of Skagit Bicycle Club's Welcome Rides.
