update
Just a few more specifics on the ride:
Leave from the Leavenworth Safeway parking lot at 10 AM on Saturday June 13, 2015
The route outlined provides rivers, mountains, lakes, coulees, desert, and a nice variety of
two lane roads. There are plenty of opportunities for checking out road side attractions
along the way as well.

Wenatchee to Chelan via ALT 97 39 miles

Total miles for the day 224.
Lodging at Columbia River Inn, 10 Lincoln Ave, Coulee Dam, Wa 800-633-6421
Laser Light show at Grand Coulee Dam
Sunday AM departure, about 9 AM
Coulee Dam to Dry Falls Jct via Rt 155 and Rt 2 29 miles
Dry Falls Jct to Soap Lake via Rt 17 23 miles
There are a couple of options for returning to Leavenworth, so depending on who is riding and where
they plan to end up Sunday evening the return route has some flexibility. From Soap Lake to Leavenworth via
Wenatchee on Rt 28 and Hwy 2 is 76 miles, making a total of 128 from Coulee Dam to Leavenworth. The original
route, which is still a possibility if folks are interested, is about an additional 100 miles back to Leavenworth.
At this point several folks have indicated they hope to participate and the folks from Spokane that are headed over to Leavenworth
that weekend are considering joining us for the ride up to Winthrop. So.... I don't really know how many will make the ride but we
look forward to meeting whoever is up for the trip at 10 AM in Leavenworth! Feel free to
PM me if you want to confirm that you are joining us, or if you need ideas for Leavenworth lodging, etc. Nick
