Vashon Island Perimeter 50+ miles 3500+ feet climbing

Ride the perimeter of Vashon Island - it is almost 60 miles with over 3100' of steep 300' ups and 300' downs. Great scenery along the shores and from up on the high ridges. Lots of parks to stop at along the way. Route finding is a challenge and there are a lot of 10% grades from the shore back to the main roads in the center of the island.

I spend a lot of time over there and the cars are usually very friendly - except on the main road down the spine of the island.

MapMyRide shows the route to be 60 miles with 10 category 5 climbs.
