East Hill,
It's a great trail for beginners to intermediate riders. When Joe and I used to lead beginner rides for our mountain bike club we usually took them to South SeaTac. It's a great place for winter riding as the sandy soil stays relatively mud free, usually!
Here's more information and directions:
South SeaTac Trails
The next time Joe and I go I'll give you a holler!

Whether or not I'll be awake is always a good question, but I'd love to know when you next go just in case I can join you.
I just realised that I can get there by riding along 200th from Military Road, so perhaps I will check that way in the next couple of weeks (I just realised that I have a really busy next couple of weeks
). Still, there's always time for a ride!

Yes, I do know busy. In fact busy will be my middle name for the next few months! This weekend Joe and I will be out of town and it seems there's always something going on through December! My mountain bike friends have also been nagging me to ride with them. I had been strictly road riding all summer long because of events I had signed up to do. Sigh I must find a happy balance. But anyway when Joe and I do go out to SeaTac again to mountain bike I will definitely send you a message. And if you're free great!
I didn't know you had a mountain bike too East Hill?! Awesome!

Looks like you all had a great time, the photographs said it all. I bet it's something those kids will be talking about for a long while.
BTW.........I love your new avatar.

Haha, you know me! Not only do I have a mountain bike, it's an old school rigid steel frame Fuji Thrill (from 1985 if I've got it dated correctly)
.
I've managed to get it going about 30 mph down some of the hills at Lake Youngs Reservoir, too!

Wow oh wow! 30 mph on your 85 fuji thrill! That's awesome!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend of cycling. I am on my way to Cheney to visit my son this weekend at college. Leaving in about 30 minutes! Enjoy the sunshine. The weather is supposed to be nice according the weather report!
