Quilcene Road-Bike Loop

A rolling road ride through the Quilcene valley and along Hood Canal, built for the riders who pedal in from Port Townsend and Port Ludlow.

Quilcene sits at a crossroads of some of the best quiet-road riding on the Peninsula. This loop rolls out through the Center Road farm valley, connects to the shoreline along Hood Canal, and brings you back to town on Highway 101 with the Olympics at your shoulder.

We see motorcycle groups and roadies from Port Townsend and Port Ludlow all summer — this is the route to send them. Start and finish in the Quilbilly’s parking lot; we’ll have the taps ready.

Note: Highway 101 shoulders vary — ride single file and stay visible.
