Ruston-5 Mile Dr.- N. Tacoma- University Place

Looking to ride scenic new roads?? Join me to ride magnificent water views and get a peaceful easy feeling! We ride from Dacca Park in Fife. Head out to North Tacoma and Ruston Way, do some climbing. We ride around 5 Mile Drive at Point Defiance. We roll back to North Tacoma heading toward some spectacular views of the Narrows Bridge. We then ride down toward the waters edge below the Narrows Bridge along the water to Chambers Bay, then climb up to University Place where we have a Food-Rest Stop. Then we head back to Dacca Park on the Scott Pierson Trail. Restrooms at start. We regroup at top of hills. Please arrive early enough to sign the ride waiver, hear the route details, and review Cascade riding S.M.A.R.T. We will start promptly at 9:00 am. The pace is Brisk 16-18 mph on flat roads. If roads are wet fenders are necessary. Long fenders are absolutely required unless it is bone dry out, and zero percent chance of rain forecast. Look forward to seeing you!
