The Red Door

Highlight • Monument

Ride along Whidbey Island's Cultus Bay Road, and you will find The Red Door. The door is locked, and it has been here for 30 years and has a lot of history. It has even been stolen and returned a few times. So if you're riding in the area, stop by, knock, and see what The Red Door is all about.

Flowerhouse Cafe

Highlight • Cafe

Wilkinson Road Rollercoaster

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This section is an old road now closed to motor vehicles. It's a nice break from riding with cars, but you need to prepare for a series of rollercoaster rides down and struggles up. Your best bet is to speed down the hills as fast as you dare and let momentum carry you as far as possible back up the next hills. Mountain bike riding experience helps.
