Tiger Mountain at 6:30am

Just about 5 hours of sleep after the Rancid concert, GG said the only way he was going to ride was if we got to the trailhead at 6:30. All right.


If you've been to Seattle, you know Tiger mtn, it's probably the most well-known trail in the area and 2 tons of fun. This was a last-minute ride so all clothes and bikes for me, todd, and mike were borrowed and old. Here are my old racing shoes...I used to wear those?? Damn....


But Todd got stuck with the purple polka-dotted mongoose shorts. I win.


Tiger mtn has a 3.something mile fire road climb, hard in the beginning and gradually easier.


But the way down is super fun. Flowy at first, it gets rough and choppy with lots of little baby drops towards the bottom. There' s a fun rolling connector trail back to the parking lot. Waking up was hell, but getting out and riding and being done at 8:30 was pretty awesome.
