It's Thursday in Tacoma and that means that the "Tacoma Rides Around the Sound and the Harbor" series is back. Every Thursday night from March 16th to November 2nd, 2017, come on out and enjoy 90 minutes of challenging terrain. We will predominently depart from either the Tacoma War Memorial, or the Dolce Si Coffee Shop (or one of the many coffee shops that Tacoma has to offer), but occasionally, we'll throw in a ride from Powderworks Park in Dupont, WA, to the Trail in Orting, WA, to the 7 Seas Brewery in Gig Harbor, WA. We will definitely try to keep it interesting and fluid.
For this evenings ride, we will be departing from the Gig Harbor Park & Ride for a challenging ride out to Fox Island, WA and back. The ride will take us out to Fisherman's Pier for a fantastic photo op. Afterwards, let's grab a pint at the Wet Coast Brewery.
We will link up in the lot on the right hand side of the Bus Depot...just look for the bikes. There are bathrooms at the start point, and parking should be plentiful.

Unfortunately, I must cancel tonight's ride due to far more rain and weather than expected. The conditions could be unsafe. Apologies to all that signed up.
