Notes:
The Lower Mainland Summer 600 will take place August 26-27. Last year's route has been modified. Starting in Maple Ridge (Petro Canada Station, 22799 Lougheed Highway), you'll make your way through Chilliwack back roads, Sedro Wooley, Marblemount, Darrington, Arlington, Smokey Point (sleep stop), Stanwood, Anacortes, Bellingham, Ferndale, Sumas, Maple Ridge. The route's name is derived from the half dozen or so Dairy Queens that you will pass along the route. Believe it or not, all but one of these DQ's were already on the route. We could have added several more DQ's to the route but chose not to complicate the navigation any further. There will be at least 2 information controls at extremities of the route - please bring a pen!
We will transport drop bags to the sleep stop. The drop bags will be returned to the finish around mid-afternoon Sunday. There are 24 hr services a few kilometers before Arlington, just past Smokey Point at the I-5, in Stanwood, in Anacortes (at Sharpes Corner, Hwy#20 junction), and in Bellingham for those riders who plan on riding through the night. Riders who plan on finishing earlier than 1400 Sunday may mail their control cards to us.
Our revised route will take you to the Smokey Point Motor Inn at 362km for the sleep control just a few miles south west of Arlington past the airport and near the I5. We have booked 5 double (2 bed) rooms at $83US + taxes at the participants' expense. More rooms are available if needed. Unclaimed rooms will be cancelled the Wednesday beforehand. Please contact us if you would like one of these rooms. We will match individual riders with other riders to split expenses if desired.
