Duthie

Duthie Hill is located on the north end of Issaquah and is regarded highly around the area as a decent place to ride bikes. None of this whimpy concrete garbage I have been dealing with ;)
It takes about an hour and a half from the house in Olympia to get there but once off HWY 18 the drive is superb. Issaquah is gorgeous as always though I have to say the highlands are going to change drastically in the next couple of years. Entire infrastructure is going in, shopping, theatres, housing, etc. Spraaaawwwllll.
back to Duthie....I made it in by 10.45 or so and parked.
I parked next to a couple of Toyota trucks. Later some newer model trucks pulled in beside us.
Theme.
The ride into the main part of the riding is boardwalk to avoid swamp. Blasting through aspens at high speed is always good.
A couple of random shots:
A couple of the wall rides are visible back there along with other hardware. For what it is worth I did not move the bike for these two shots.
 Here is a quick video by someone else to give you an idea of a run.

Anywho it was a great time and look forward to the next time I cross paths with Issaquah and Duthie.
