Snoqualmie Bike Nonstop 2026
https://rideyrbike.com/SNS2026
Event: Snoqualmie Bike Nonstop (3rd edition)
Date: Friday, September 18, 2026 @ 6:00 AM
Start / finish: Bellingham, Washington (loop)
Distance: Approx. 546 miles
1. The concept
The Snoqualmie Bike Nonstop is a big Pacific Northwest loop for riders who want Cascades drama without hike-a-bike: out of Bellingham, across the mountains twice by way of the greater Snoqualmie National Forest, then a finishing tour of Whidbey Island before closing the loop. It is aimed at nature-first riders who still want a mostly rideable, self-supported ultra on forest roads, rail-trails, and quiet connectors.
2. The route & navigation
The loop: Mass start and finish in Bellingham, WA; the course tours the Cascades twice via the Snoqualmie side of the range, then adds a Whidbey Island bonus before returning to Bellingham.
Terrain: About 75% paved and 25% adventure surface (gravel / dirt / mixed) — built to use the smallest practical unpaved connectors where it helps.
Scenery: Rainforest passes, valley transitions, Snoqualmie-area trails and tunnels, and salt-air miles on Whidbey.
Navigation: Follow the official GPS route; tracking and validation through the Ride Yr Bike app (or bring your own inReach / SPOT if you prefer satellite hardware).
3. Rules & style
Same self-supported ethos as the rest of the series: no outside assistance, no private caches, no support crews — commercial resupply only. Treat it as one continuous stage from the mass start to the finish; the clock does not stop. Pack in, pack out, and keep rural communities and trail corridors clean.
4. Rider tracking
Live tracking is mandatory. Primary path is the Ride Yr Bike app on your phone; Garmin inReach or SPOT are acceptable alternatives. Tracking backs route compliance, safety, and the public map for friends and dot-watchers.
5. Who is this for?
Riders who want a longer, wilder Washington loop than a compact valley ride, but who are not ready (or do not want) a multi-state line haul. Expect a high workload and real mountain weather — plan tires and gear for mixed surfaces (the manual suggests thinking in terms of a ~35 mm smooth-ish tread class tire, not a paper-thin road race setup).
Entry: $65 USD — Ride Yr Bike app tracker setup and roster listing.
