We rode the Tour de Cure route which inspired us to ride from Monroe to Granite Falls using the directions in Woods Northwest #88 and puget sound #28. We liked the hills and the countryside so we though we’d explore segments of this route as an alternative to our old standard loop from Snohomish to Monroe on the old Snohomish Highway and back on Highbridge and Springetti. Here are some options:
via machias, old snohomish highway, lowell river rd and larimer = 48 miles http://www.gmap-pedometer.
