Those looking to spin can climb into the saddle and spin for hours in the Lake Chelan Valley. One of the favorite rides is out the south shore to 25-Mile Creek and back to town. Others enjoy exploring the back roads of Manson where there are miles and miles of paved road winding through orchards. For the serious rider, a climb out of the Lake Chelan Valley along Highway 97A through Knapps Coulee tunnel to the turnoff that will bring you back over Navaree Coulee and back to Lake Chelan giving you plenty of exercise while you are at it. Others like to spin the century by going all the way to Wenatchee on 97A along the west side of the Columbia River and coming back to Chelan along Highway 97 on the east side of the Columbia River.
