Organ Donor is a short, back-loaded mountain biking ride in Washington, about half a mile long and set at roughly 776 feet, with the high point and start at the same elevation. It's an out-and-back route, and the climb and descent are both about 176 feet, so it's a low-elevation loop rather than a serious ascent. The steepest stretch comes within the first few feet, with a grade of about 14%. The nearest town is Yacht Haven, about 14 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Friday Harbor, which sits well below the route, put July and August highs in the low 70s with only six to eight wet days a month, while winter months see highs in the upper 40s and rain on 14 to 16 days. The route sits among several other mountain biking options. Green Ribbon is about 0.1 mile away, All Dressed about 0.2 mile, and Shock Treatment and Crossover about 0.3 mile. For an overnight stay, D'Arcy Island Campground / BC Marine Trail is roughly 9 miles away.
