Distance, night return, and tender reality

Road / marine contextRoughly 28–42 road miles from downtown Gig Harbor

In daylight

Excellent for a daylight e-bike cluster after a boat move; rural shoulders require route scrutiny.

After dark

Use a rideshare, taxi, or prearranged pickup for rural venues. Do not count on a dark shoulder ride.
