There are two routes to North Bend today for the Sound to Mountains Bike Festival: the long way and the short. The first means peddling 104 miles from Magnuson Park to the Bybee Nimms Blueberry Farm, following a northward loop from the BGT through Woodinville, Snohomish, Monroe, and fall city. Or you can simply drive (or bus) 30 minutes east on I-90 to meet up with your tired, sweaty buddies. There, youll find beer, food, arts exhibits, various bike shop vendors, and music (including Pufferfish and The Nextdoor Neighbors). Return bus shuttle service is also available for bike riders. Bybee Nimms Blueberry Farm: 42930 S.E. 92nd St., North Bend. Bike ride entry includes festival passes for three guests. T. BOND
