Tulip Pedal offers three rides – a 20-mile course around the tulip fields between Mount Vernon and La Conner, and a 40-mile course that will begin and end near the tulip fields, and also will take cyclists past breathtaking views of Samish and Padilla bays, Mount Baker and the Cascade foothills. The 60-mile course will incorporate elements of the 20 and 40-mile rides, but will offer a swing around Fir Island, too! All rides begin and end at the La Conner Middle/High School complex.
