The annual Mussels in the Kettles Mountain Bike and Poker Ride takes place Saturday, March 12, 2016 on beautiful Whidbey Island. Start location for this fun event (NOT a race!) is Coupeville High School. Riders can choose one of three routes through Fort Ebey and The Kettles parks based on skill level. Routes are color-coded green/easy, blue/moderate, and black/expert. Distance, elevation gain, and technical challenge increase with each level. Info at http://musselsinthekettles.net.
But wait - there's more, if you're heading over on the ferry from Port Townsend. The tides make mischief with the Port Townsend/Coupeville ferry schedule for Saturday, March 12, 2016.
These are the REVISED morning sailing times from Port Townsend (3/12/16 only):
6:10am
7:40am
9:10am
Afternoon ferry sailings are as regularly scheduled. Book your ferry reservation early (wsdot.com/ferries) as the morning is one sailing short of the regular crossings and reservations are likely to fill fast.
