Pacific Northwest / Anacortes - Concrete ?
« on: March 07, 2014, 12:07:25 pm »
Greetings from Scotland. I have two quick questions re the ACA routing of the Northern Tier from Anacortes to Concrete. I have not as yet purchased the ACA maps, but will do so come pay day. My questions are:
Why does the ACA route head north out of Anacortes to Bay View and take back roads into Sedro Wooley, is it just nicer than the main road, route 20?
Exiting Sedro Wooley we are sent south and then along the S Skagit Hwy. Google maps bicycle option chooses to send us along the "Cascade Trail", which runs parallel to route 20. Which would you choose?
Thanks for any advice,
Regards
Dave
