Join us for a series of fun, educational and picturesque rides. Depending on the route, it might be to a historical site or just a ride to a hamburger joint. We plan on taking time for pictures and enjoying the scenery.
These rides will be in South King and Pierce County and will vary in miles and elevation.
Paces offered -- steady (12 – 14 mph on flats), moderate (14 – 16 mph on flats). Brisk may be offered depending on Ride Leader availability. Pace groups will use a common route each week.

Today's Theme - Cities with a lot of History. This ride takes us from Puyallup out to Wilkeson and Carbonado. The route has trails, some quiet country roads, rolling hills, some hill climbing, babbling brooks, old saloons & churches. We'll stop to see the coke ovens in Wilkeson built in 1887, from there it's on to Carbonado where the Carbonado saloon is believed to date back to 1878. Unfortunately we will not be able to partake in any suds at the saloon as it's only open April - October.
