From near Redmond, the route will take back roads to Snohomish then follow Highway 9 to Arlington. From Arlington, back roads to Sultan and then US-2 over Stevens Pass to Wenatchee. Then North along the river through Entiat, Chelan, and Pateros. From there to Winthrop and then west on the North Cascades highway to Rockport. From Rockport through Darrington to Arlington along 530. From Arlington, you will pick up the 400 km route, which will take Highway 530 back to Darrington and then again to Rockport. From there it will take you west to Sedro-Wooley on SR-20 and then on mostly back roads to Chuckanut Drive. A scenic stretch along the water will take you to the turnaround point in Fairhaven (Bellingham). The control will be at the Red Apple Market or any of the nearby restaurants or gas stations. The return trip will feature Bayview-Edison Road, La Conner, Conway, Stanwood, and Silvana on the way to Arlington. From Arlington, the route retraces its start back to Mark's house.
