That said much of San Juan roads are chip-seal so be wary about riding of which tires you bring. There are tonnes of great road biking to do on all of the islands though many areas out of the main towns have little to no shoulder but drivers are generally careful. On San Juan there are tonnes of events going on though not sure at this time if any are bike related (http://www.sanjuancalendar.com/) Cheers and welcome!

I am curious about any bike events/rides in the area during that time and also pondering the question of which bike to bring - road or trail. In the research I've done, it appears that there are a good number of quality road bike routes available amoung the three major islands, so I am current favoring bringing my road bike. Any feedback would be appreciated. thanks, John Mathes Albuquerque We will be vacationing on San Juan Island for 5 days from July 18-25.
