Washington Riders

Hello Washington Riders,

I'm wondering if anyone on here has ridden up the road to Paradise on Mount Rainier. I see people doing it and I want to do it when I get back from Cuba. Just wondering what the ride is like, obviously it's going to be strenuous but just riding up in a vehicle is amazing and I bet you appreciate it so much more on a bike.

Brad

I guess not, but now that I'm not going back to Washington anytime soon I'll have to wait on that dream. There are amazing hills everywhere, except in the plains states, and they always need conquering.

Why did you post this in the Wisconsin forum?

Mt. Rainier is in Maryland. I ride through there everyday.

Actually I was talking about Mt. Rainier, Washington... I guess it's in the wrong one, didn't realize, I thought I was in the Washington forum. It can be moved by admin, no wonder people didn't comment on it...

Brad,

Here is reason for you to make a trip to Washington http://www.redmondcyclingclub.org/RAMROD/RAMROD.html

If you don't want to bring your bike, you can rent from Tacoma Bike. http://tacomabike.com/
