A mixed road and gravel ride with a challenging gravel climb to the paragliding launch site at Poo Poo Point on Tiger Mountain.
This out-and-back route follows the East Lake Sammamish Trail, Issaquah Preston Trail, and Rainier Trail to take us to the South side of Issaquah. After a short ride on the Issaquah Hobart Road, the climbing begins. First, a paved-road climb up Tiger Mountain Road, followed by a steep gravel climb to Poo Poo Point.
A bike suitable for riding on gravel is required for this ride. Wide tires, 32-35 or wider are recommended. Low gearing will also be helpful (some popular gear setups are 48/32 in front and 11/34 in back or 40t 1x gearing in front with 10/42 in back).
Riders should bring tools and knowledge to repair flats and minor mechanicals.
Bring enough food and water for the ride. We will plan on a snack/lunch break at Poo Poo Point while we enjoy the views.
There is a port-a-pot at the start. Water and restroom break at Lake Sammamish State Park (mile 8.6).
