Event details and schedule

Mussels in the Kettles

The course will be up and available to ride between the hours of 9:30 am and 2 pm on March 2th, 2024

Courses are marked with Green, Blue, and White flagging, three ribbons per intersection or turn.  We also use direction arrows along the course to keep the flow of the right direction on the single track.

No check-in this year, when you arrive in Coupeville, you will have a bib assigned to you, you will park at the Coupeville High School, ride two blocks to the staging area pick up your bibs, socks, and fasteners.  Once you are ready to ride you will goto the pre-staging area line up at the cone and we will release groups of 10 off at one-minute intervals.

Mussels in the Kettles will not provide any coffee, food, or water at the starting line.  Halfway through the ride, we will have bottles of water and trail bars.

2024 will have no card stations no prizes this year, but will have homemade cookies, at the fire ring on the bluff.

2024.
