Bike Trips

Description:

Washington offers an incredible variety of opportunities to bring out your bike, and we take full advantage of them all. Do anything from biking through tulip fields, or an old train tunnel, to picking up your skills in one of our many mountain bike courses! We offer introductory lessons, as well as longer term skills trips. Join us all year long!


Destinations:

Mountain Biking Swan Creek or Duthy Hill: Experience the thrill of mountain biking! We'll start by addressing proper bike fit and making any necessary adjustments to your bike. Next we'll demonstrate riding techniques, including body and pedal position, shifting, braking, climbing, descending, and navigating minor obstacles on the trail. We'll also go over important communication skills and mountain biking trail etiquette with the aim of keeping multi-use trails open and safe for everyone. And finally, we'll practice all these new skills on a great trail ride.

Snoqualmie Tunnel: Bike along an old railroad grate that climbs gently though forested hillsides along the Snoqualmie valley trail. This trip begins in the historic town of Snoqualmie, where we will follow the Snoqualmie River as we make our way to Tolt Macdonald Park and return to the little town of Snoqualmie. Along the way you will pass many farms, nature viewing areas, and the historic 100’ tall, 400’ long Tolt River Bridge.

Tulip tour: The beauty of hundreds of acres of tulips is awaiting you! On this guided bike journey through the Annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, tour the Rooengaarde gardens, view open fields and stop in the small tourist town of La Conner for a hearty lunch and to experience the festival from a local perspective. The fields might be muddy, and the weather might be chilly or rainy so be prepared and dress in layers with a waterproof jacket. Bike, helmet and gloves provided.

Pedals and Pints: Join as we head to Woodinville and bike along the Sammamish River Trail to Marymoor Park and back. We will finish this excursion with a tour of the famous Redhook Brewery and dinner at the Forecaster Pub.

Ladies Ruston Bike: LADIES ONLY Take a bike out for a spin, exploring the beautiful boardwalk of Ruston Way in downtown Tacoma. Cruise by Chihuly glass art, restaurants, Point Defiance Park, and other stunning landscapes on the nearly 10 mile path. Enjoy a picnic and potential some yoga in the park to loosen up your muscles after all that peddling! We will stop for lunch in the grass, bike back, and end the day.
