Heading out there for a few days around the 23rd, and was interested if anyone knew of any 20-40 mile rides that are moderate or easy in elevation profile.

Your best bet is probably the Discovery Trail

Right now we're looking at the Port Angeles - Lake Crescent - Joyce loop, which I think might be a bit heavy for a person without clips on their bike. Just my .02.

I recommend the Joyce route, turn right at the general store and then proceed a few more miles to Salt Creek. There is a sweet point break there and some tide pools. Also these:
Housed in steel-shielded, canopied concrete bunkers designed to take a direct hit, the monster guns were 45 feet long, five feet thick at the breech, tapering to 16 inches in diameter at the point overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
The turntable on which the gun and loading mechanism revolved was large enough to turn a small locomotive. Top-grade laminated steel barrels fired one-ton projectiles nearly 50,000 yards (approximately 28 miles).

I have yet to ride the Olympic Discovery trial. They kinda have a neat little helpful website, sounds like a nice ride. Considering it one-way this weekend (staying at my parents house in Port Townsend Friday night, camping lawn available... then Sat-Sun ride with an overnight camp somewhere midway - side trips could be nice? ex: http://blogs.seattletimes.com/northwesttraveler/2015/01/26/whiskey-bend-road-closed-by-slide-in-olympic-national-park/). Would benefit from a second car/shuttle back if anyone else is down, let's chat about it...
