2026 PASL Grand Depart
Advertisement
We are back for year TWO!
The Port Angeles Super Loop (PASL) is an unofficial, solo, self-supported bikepacking ride on the north Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. It links together everything that makes riding this little slice of heaven so special.
One massive figure eight, two versions:
PASL *MOUNTAIN
Is THE PASL. Best enjoyed on a mountain bike. 2025 Second place finisher, Jason Rowland, said: “I wished I had 2.6s.”
Described by Washington bikepack local legend, Thomas Sumter, as: “The most impossible route possible.”
PASL *GRAVEL
New for 2026. Best enjoyed on a gravel bike with 50mm+ tires. The gravel route follows the exact same figure eight, but it removes:
- 2, 2 mile long hike-a-bikes
- 50 miles of single/quad track
- 38 miles
- 10,000 ft. of climbing
I rode the entirety of PASL gravel in July 2025. I have the first, and fastest known time of 1 day, 18 hours, 24 minutes.
I have to say, this route flows and is an absolute treat! It’s much, much, easier than PASL *mountain. Comically easier, actually.
