  Yakima Region Hub and Spoke Tour

  Several of you have ridden the Yakima Canyon between Ellensburg and Selah during the "Your Canyon For A Day" event where they close the road to cars for most of the day. For those of you that have not ridden the canyon, you're missing out. It's beautiful. The plan would be for a four ride, steady pace hub and spoke tour centered in Yakima that includes the canyon ride, a ride to Zillah for tacos with a winery stop on the way back, a loop through Tieton and Naches returning along the greenway, and on the way home, a loop through the eastern portion of the Kittitas Valley from Rotary Park Ellensburg.

  The rides would be about like this: Yakima Area Routes

  
  

  Important Note About Dates:

  There has been enough interest to put this on the calendar as a place holder, partly to help me manage my own calendar.  I called and checked on the "Your Canyon For a Day" ride in 2025.  They have a tentative date, but no final agreement yet.  Since the tour is scheduled around the canyon ride, don't be surprised if the dates move by a few days should they canyon ride date change.  We should have final dates well in advance. 

  
  

  Other Notes About the Canyon Ride:

  I show a longer ride with a loop through Ellensburg.  There is also a shorter option that turns around at Thrall road at the north end of the canyon.  Since this an organized event, people can choose how far they want to ride.  It's not necessary for everyone who signs up to ride the same route.

  The canyon ride is a paid event.  It was $65 last year and included a t-shirt.
