Local Bike Trails

We have some pretty awesome biking really close.
Tacoma just opened a new Mnt. Bike park called Swan Creek.
It is located about 20 minutes away from our house.
We also have Dash Point State Park that has some great trails and the trail head entrance just a few houses away!
Here is a compilation from riding yesterday at Swan Creek and today at Dash Point State Park.

Tiger Summit Mnt Bike Ride, Sunrise Lookout

We rode Sunrise up by Greenwater last weekend, no video but a good view of Mnt. Rainier and a good crew of Mike, Sean, Todd and myself
almost 3500 feet of elevation drop to bottom, ran into way more snow than we had planned on and some people up hiking and skiing, never a good sign when on a bike

Bikes on back of Armada(14mpg), Sean photo bomb, good set up for 4+ riders
Bike on initial test run on Court's terrain(20+mpg), perfect set up for 1 or 2 riders

Mike and I rode Tiger Summit this last Saturday and was pretty fun plus scored some good video footage. This is right off Hwy 18 when you are heading to I-90.  Small fall at the end, don't tell Court.....
