Bubble Wrap (South West) is a short mountain biking route in Washington, about 15 miles from the town of Yacht Haven. It's a back-loaded out-and-back that starts and ends at about 1,060 feet, with a high point of 1,060 feet and a low of 996 feet. The climb is only about 3 feet one way, and the total round trip is about 67 feet, so it's a quick stop rather than a long ride. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Friday Harbor show July and August highs around 72 to 73°F with only six to eight wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on 14 to 16 days. North Ridge DH sits just 0.1 mile away, and Bubble Wrap and 90s jank are both within a mile. For an overnight stay, Sidney Spit Campsite / BC Marine Trail is about 10 miles off.
