A bike ride is coming this weekend to Olympic National Park in Washington state, where cyclists have a chance to ride the Hurricane Ridge Road from the Heart O' The Hills entrance station to the top of Hurricane Ridge.
The ride is scheduled for between 7 a.m. and noon on Sunday.
The event is a recreational climb into the Olympic Mountains on the scenic Hurricane Ridge Road. The Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce is organizing the ride, with sponsorship from local businesses.
To provide a safe experience for the event, the road will be closed to all motor vehicle traffic between the Heart O' the Hills entrance station and Hurricane Ridge, starting at 6 a.m. and ending at noon. This applies to both uphill and downhill travel. The road will open to traffic at noon, when the event is finished.
Olympic National Park will waive entrance fees at the Heart O' the Hills entrance station for the rest of the day on August 7. Access to the Lake Angeles-Heather Park trailhead and Heart O' the Hills Campground will remain open throughout the day.
To register for "Ride the Hurricane," people should visit the Port Angeles Chamber website. The registration cost is $40. Non-registered cyclists may also ride on the Hurricane Ridge Road during the event, but will not have access to event services or amenities.
