Green Ribbon is a short mountain biking route in Washington, about 0.25 miles from the nearest town, Yacht Haven, which is roughly 14 miles away. The ride is an out-and-back of about half a mile, with the high point at 776 feet and the low at 536 feet. The climb is back-loaded, so the steepest stretch comes early, with a grade of about 18% at the 0.1-mile mark. The total gain and loss are each about 240 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. 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 about 16 days. Several other mountain biking routes sit close by, including Organ Donor at 0.1 mile, All Dressed at 0.2 mile and Shock Treatment at 0.3 mile. For an overnight stay, D'Arcy Island Campground / BC Marine Trail is about 9 miles away.
