The remove some of the fear of following a Roadbook Tour for the first time by being on public roads in an area you already know.

Each Roadbook Tour is on paved roadways and can be ridden on any motorcycle from a smaller dual-sport all the way up to a Goldwing. Get your Android tablet mounted, your power supply set up, and your TerraPirata Rally Roadbooks app loaded up and come out for some fun following the tulips.

You will find yourself heading north toward Everett before exploring Ebey Island as you make your way toward Snohomish. Then you roll out into the foothills of SnoCo. You will come down, skirting the edge of Monroe. Next you will find yourself in more farmland on your way back to Snohomish again. Leaving Snohomish on more fabulous farmland roads as you make your way back toward the starting point.

The navigation is more challenging in this Roadbook Tour with more notes and more kilometers. You will not have GPS coordinates available for every note but only for a select few like the DSS, WPMs, ASS and fuel stops along the way.
