San Antonio Rider On Northwest Trails

[jasmorg1075]

I've been meaning to post these for a long time. Work took me to Seattle for two weeks and I stayed the weekend to do some mountain biking. I rented a bike from Kirkland Bicycles, they were very helpful and great guys. I rented a Santa Cruz Nickel, not my typical bike but I was excited to ride trails out near Mt. Rainier.

I ended up picking Black Diamond, WA, which used to be an old coal mining town. They had a great map and lots of trails with different types of terrain. Enjoy the pics.

My favorite part of the ride was the log ride. We don't have very many trees like that in texas and was an awesome time. It was about 3-4 feet off the ground and I ate dirt the first couple of times. The picture of Mt. Rainier was a good breather spot, think I hung out there for about 20 minutes just soaking in the scenery.

Overall it was a great ride, I did about 25 miles and spent most of my saturday off having a blast.

Looks like an awesome time dude! Did that Washington dirt taste any better than our Texas dirt?

[jasmorg1075]

Hahaha....nope the dirt tastes the same, but it is much softer than the Texas ground.
