Biking Puget Sound

Recreational cycling guidebook for the Seattle area

Hi, I'm Bill Thorness, the author of [Biking Puget Sound](https://bookshop.org/p/books/biking-puget-sound-60-rides-from-olympia-to-the-san-juans-bill-thorness/591096?ean=9781594858901&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fbillthorness.com%2F&source=IndieBound&title=) (Mountaineers Books), the Seattle region's leading recreational cycling guidebook. My book offers 60 rides in 9 counties, from urban to rural, for people of all cycling abilities.

## Get Away to the Islands

Looking for low-traffic roads, a slower pace of life and high-inducing views? The islands northwest of Seattle are waiting for you, just [a ferry ride away](http://www.visitsanjuans.com/members/all-san-juan-islands/washington-state-ferries). From beaches and marinas to rocky bluffs, friendly towns to campgrounds, island cycling gets you away from cities and traffic.

I hope you enjoy these routes and [check out the book](https://billthorness.com/books/) and [my cycling writing](https://billthorness.com/category/cycling/) for more rides around the region.
