hey dude, I live about an hour south of ft. lewis. I work about an hour north of there, come through once a week. lots of good rides around here while the weather is nice. crap rain rest of the year... if theres ever a few dry hours you gotta hit it and quit it!
I was at McChord a few years back. I liked Northwest HD at Lacey just south of Ft Lewis--wasn't a fan of Destination in Tacoma, but that was a few years ago. The riding is great May through Oct. You can go out the back gate at Ft Lewis and you are on the way to Mt Rainier. There are endless incredible day trips all around that rival anywhere in the country. I really miss the riding out there even when it was a little iffy in the winter. You'll have no problem finding folks to ride with. Enjoy the area.
I know bro i leave next april. So i gotta get all the mods in before i leave. Hope i can get the stuff we already got planned before te last 2nd sunday.
