Join us in Sequim on August 4, 2018 for the 6th annual Tour de Lavender, the Olympic Peninsula’s premier cycling event. 

It’s more than a ride…It’s an Experience!

You’ll visit the world-renowned lavender farms of “America’s Provence” as you take in scenery you won’t find anywhere else. Picturesque vistas of the snow-capped Olympic Mountains on one side, the deep summer blue expanse of the Salish Sea on the other, and all around you the pastoral prairie-lands of the Sequim Dungeness Valley.

The Tour has something for all cyclists:

  • A Fun Ride that’s perfect for the beginner, for those who want a casual, relaxed ride, and for families with kids of all ages!  The entire Fun Ride loop is 34 miles and visits eight farms, but all of it is on mostly level ground and a majority of the route follows the Olympic Discovery Trail, the crown jewel of scenic bikeways on the Peninsula.  You can also tailor your personal Fun Ride tracing a shorter loop or out-and-back visits to select farms.
  • A Metric Century for those seeking the challenge of completing a 62.5 mile course with about 2000 feet of elevation gain as you climb into the northern foothills of the Olympics.  You’ll get to visit nine farms on this ride, with a mid-way stop at the Jamestown S’Klallam Cultural Center in Blyn.

We’ve simplified registration for 2018 with a single fee: $60 ($15 for kids under 12).  Register online before July 21 and it’s only $50 ($10 for kids under 12).  Of course, you can also register in person on the day of the event at the Event Headquarters (the start/finish at the Boys & Girls Club, 400 West Fir Street in Sequim).

The Tour de Lavender jerseys for 2018 are newly designed and available for purchase in the shop on our new website, www.tourdelavender.com. Order before August 1 and you can pick it up at check-in.

For 2018 there’s an After-Ride Celebration Party where you can relax with friends and family - and hope to win one of a number of great door prizes that we’ll be giving away! (Stay tuned for further details.)
