Quilbilly Hilly a challenge for all
It’s free, it’s fun, it’s the Quilbilly Hilly.
Sponsored by the Port Townsend Bicycle Association, Quilcene chapter, this brand new bicycle event starts at 10 a.m. Sunday, June 12 at the Quilcene Community Center in Quilcene.
“I wanted to put on a ride that wasn’t just tailored for fancy bikes and Spandex, that reflects the personality and natural features of Quilcene,” said organizer Lillian Kuehl when asked about the inspiration for the ride.
In this scavenger-style ride, participants of all ages will receive a passport to get rubber stamped at the top of each of about a dozen hills in the Quilcene area.
“Some are super-easy, literally, like the hill to go over the Linger Longer Bridge, and some are hard, like Mount Walker,” said Kuehl.
Participants may choose which and how many of the hills to ride, and how often. Elevation gains range from 20 feet to 2800 feet.
Prizes will be awarded for Most Hills, Fewest Hills, Quillbilliest, Youngest Rider, Oldest Rider, Heaviest Bike and other special prizes.
