About Tour de Lavender
With vistas of the snow-capped Olympic Mountains, the blue expanse of the Salish Sea, and multi-hued fields of wondrous lavender to roam, the “Tour de Lavender” is more than just a ride, it’s an experience! Since 2013, the Tour de Lavender has given cyclists from beginner to expert the chance to celebrate the stunning beauty of the Olympic Peninsula and enjoy the renowned lavender farms of the Sequim-Dungeness. Celebrate some more when you return to the finish area with pizza, beer garden, socializing. You can also pick up any purchases that you made at the farms, which we will transport back to the event finish area for you!
Peninsula Trails Coalition
Proceeds from the Tour de Lavender go to the Peninsula Trails Coalition, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and are used for the construction and maintenance of the Olympic Discovery Trail, as well as advocacy and education.
Ways to Participate
- The 35-mile Fun Ride: A loop course for cyclists looking for a more casual, relaxed ride. The route is over mostly level terrain, on low traffic country roads and the Olympic Discovery Trail.
- The 64-mile Metric Century: Also a loop course, mostly over level or gently rolling terrain but incorporates two more challenging hill climbs. It follows backcountry roads, segments of the Olympic Discovery Trail. Elevation gained is more than 2,000 feet.
Both courses visit multiple lavender farms, each with a dedicated support station offering snacks, beverages, and mechanical support. Each farm has its own unique character, but all are dedicated to making your visit a memorable experience and truly “cyclist-friendly.”
