Cap Sante Bike Ride

Looking north to Anacortes, and the entrance to the marina at Cap Sante

After a workday that got to enjoy the view out the front windows of the coach, I was ready to hit the trail, the Tommy Thompson Trail.  Fidalgo Bay RV Resort straddles this great local resource that has been built upon an old railroad right of way.

The community has done a wonderful job transforming the railroad trestle into a functioning portion of the trail.  With composite and wood planking, combined with safety fencing, and even park benches halfway across, the trestle affords those on foot or on a bike and delightful experience of being over the water.

Starting in the southeast and ending at Cap Sante in the north.

Steps are provided at both ends of this gravel beach to encourage visitors to explore at low tide.

As a boat lover, Cap Sante Marina, formerly known as Cap Sante Boat Haven, is always a fun stop.  Laura and I have always admired Nordic Tugs trawlers, so it was a kick to find a red and a blue one at the docks.

The bike ride was a nice way to finish off a busy workday.  The weather turned out great, with little or no wind to ease the journey from start to end.
