Camano Route

Biking around Camano Island - and ending with tacos and friends at the local brewpub - is what makes this a classic. McClinchy offers beautiful water and mountain views plus lots of climbing on all routes: 35, 50, 65 or 100 miles. Formerly: McClinchy Mile & Camano Climb The first McClinchy Mile was hosted by B.I.K.E.S. Club of Snohomish County Oct. 3 1982 out of Monroe, WA. It was named after an early club member Stuart McClinchy who died too young. In addition to Monroe, the ride was based out of Arlington for many years, and had an "Oso Strong" edition to Darrington after the Oso mudslide in 2015. Camano Island and the Stanwood Camano Kiwanis became part of McClinchy in 2019. Prior to that, the Kiwanis had hosted the Camano Climb Bike Ride for more than 25 years. McClinchy is a major fundraiser for both B.I.K.E.S. and Kiwanis. In addition to supporting the bike club, B.I.K.E.S. gives grants for bike-related programs such as Everett's Sharing Wheels Community Bike Shop and helmets to go with bikes for low income kids at Christmas House. The Kiwanis use event proceeds for a high school scholarship program.
