Hey guys I posted before about just moving to the Seattle area and you all helped me alot. I do have another question for you though.

My wife is just learning to ride she has only been on her bike about 4 times. I am looking for a nice easy ride where she can practice and start learning. We went to Tuhuya this weekend and it was packed and the trails were way advanced for her.

Does anyone know where a small, quiet, flat riding area is either in the corner of Tuhuya or somewhere else where she can build her confidence?

Thanks,

try capitol forest

Capitol forest ( middle waddell area) will be open starting april 1...across the street from waddell campground and around the immediate camp are really easy flatter trails that all the wives and kids ride to get confidence. it's also a great area for you to check out with the better riders as it is pretty big and open early season. oh yeah, it's located just west and south of olympia.

Joe :)

Check out the NMA website too, I think they have a women's ride on mother's day? Either at Shelton or Tahuya if I remember? Not sure how they split it up for skill levels but it is a RIDE, not a poker run or race.
