Just wondering how many locals pedal their big bikes(35lbs +) up the 4 mile road to the Preston trail at Tiger Mountain?
I prefer to climb the trail than the road. The road is too degrating.Borneo said:Snacks, I'd agree. I'm in the same boat. but, not nearly as young as you. So, I've found that it's a lot easier to get up the climb if I ride out the road to the left and do the Fat Hand/Iverson loop first. Then, I'm good and warmed up.
Or, you can just do an out and back and ride out Northwest Timber and then up PRT.
BTW: luvz2ridz, there's maps everywhere of this place on the web. Try NWsource.com and print it out.
Thanks, I will do that.Borneo said:BTW: luvz2ridz, there's maps everywhere of this place on the web. Try NWsource.com and print it out.
Judging by the rider most prominently filmed and the name of the vid submitter I would say those are the trails known by the filmed rider's name. Make sence??downhillracer said:these are the trails I am refering to
haha I feel the same way!Snacks said:The first 1.5 of the climb is the worst After that there are more flat spots and not as steep.
Or it might be that I'm older and it takes me longer to warm up and get my heart rate under control
Ugh, it was like that on a ride at Whidbey we did last Saturday Right out of the car and climbing steep single track....I felt my lungs and heart were going to explode:hot:Knobularlife said:haha I feel the same way!
