The Lopez Island Chamber of Commerce is hosting the seventh annual Tour De Lopez on Saturday April 24, 2010. This popular bike ride is a non-competitive road tour with 10, 17 & 31 mile routes through the scenic landscape of Lopez on our rural roads. Many of you have been a part of this fun family-friendly event for several years now – we recognize many of the same names each year! Please remember to share the road with cars and follow all safe bicycling rules. We have designed the route to keep you off the main roads and post the route so local vehicles can avoid the areas but the roads are not closed to traffic. We encourage participants to consider making this a weekend getaway – it’s a great opportunity to see what Lopez has to offer.
Check-in for the ride is available at the Chamber of Commerce Office in Lopez Village Thursday or Friday from 11am-4pm OR Saturday morning from 8:30-10;30am at Odlin County Park – a short ride from the Lopez Ferry landing and 3 miles from town. Check-in is required to receive your lunch/snacks pass as well as a route map and details about the days ride and activities. The tour routes are marked with our “unique” recycled bikes and include marked designated rest stops with snacks, bulk water (please bring your own water bottles) and sani-cans available.
Your ride will conclude in the Village Park, next to Lopez Village Market, with a BBQ lunch presented by the Bay Cafe from 12:30-3pm for bicyclists as well as local residents. If you read feedback from previous rides you will notice the fantastic food is mentioned often! This year we are pleased to present Trish Hatley & Hans Brehmer Quartet*, a well-known innovative jazz group from the Seattle area, for your listening pleasure during lunch. So come join us for a fun ride and enjoy lunch while relaxing in the Village Park listening to some great music. Remember to register early as this is usually a sold-out event.

The Trish Hatley & Hans Brehmer Quartet have a refreshing approach – two voices, harmonies, and great jazz interpretations of pop songs. Trish & Hans are one of the most innovative and entertaining groups in the Northwest today. In addition to their unique and superb musicianship, they bring with them a joyous and exhilarating sense of showmanship to the stage. This exciting group combines their soaring, swinging vocals for a sound that is truly their own.
Tour De Lopez is sponsored by the Lopez Island Chamber of Commerce and helps us to raise funds for the maintenance of the Village Park and it's restroom and shower facilities. It's a great way to experience Lopez in the spring, when it is less crowded and slower paced. Be prepared for cool weather and rain.
