Meat Machine Cycles — Friday Harbor’s only full-service bike repair and rental shop — is offering a new bicycle tour for photography enthusiasts.
Meat Machine’s professional photographer will guide guests on a mild bike ride to the most scenic and also lesser-known San Juan Island locations to learn the basic tenets of outdoor photography.
Professional guide Greg Sellentin will use his 30 years of experience to help participants capture picturesque shots of island lighthouses, wildlife, sunsets, wildflowers, and more. Specific scenes can be tailored to riders’ interests.
Join a tour, or schedule a private group with a minimum of two people. Participants can use their own bikes, or opt for the shop’s standard or E-bicycles for this approximately 4-hour, 20-mile cruise. E-bikes offer an efficient way to traverse the island with ease and low impact. Meat Machine staff will carry riders’ bulky equipment, like tripods and lenses, as well as healthy snacks and a gourmet lunch to enjoy among the scenic San Juan vistas.
The tour is for beginner to advanced cyclists and photographers. Whether shooting with a digital SLR, point-and-shoot, or phone, Meat Machine staff can help participants capture the beauty of San Juan Island, based on your individualized vision.
“I came here with the intention of just staying the winter, that was 4 years ago, and after having experienced the natural beauty and serenity of the San Juan Islands, I decided to stay. I’m incredibly grateful to be able to share and combine my passion for cycling and photography with others,” says Photography and Bicycle Tour guide, Greg Sellentin.
