BRAND NEW for 2026!
Dates: July 20 - July 31 OR August 2 - Augst 15th
This option is NOT available for August 1
The Tour de Lavender Self-Guided option is for folks who either cannot attend on August 1 or prefer a more low-key experience while still supporting fundraising for the Olympic Discovery Trail. Participants ride the Fun Ride route (35 miles) on any day between July 20 - 31 or Aug 2-15 (NOT available on August 1st). We will provide a swag bag, paper and digital maps, and all of the information you need to have a lovely day visiting the farms, such as the schedule of farm operating hours, coupons for farms and local businesses, and more. There is no mechanical or other on-route support.
Participants will pick up their swag bag and information at the Sequim-Dungeness Chamber of Commerce in Sequim, Washington between the hours of 10am and 4pm on Monday through Saturday (closed Sunday). The route is essentially a loop, so riders can start / end at any location, but we suggest that you begin at Carrie Blake Park where there is public parking and restrooms.
The event will visit a minimum of 5 lavender farms. The current map for the ride is Tour de Lavender Fun Ride Map (subject to minor updates between now and July)
