hey guys,

I may end up transfering to seattle come july, and got some questions. Those in the seattle area, how far are good spots to wheel? here in MA, good spots are 2-3 hours away and I really dont get out as much as I want to because of this. What kind of wheeling does everyone do (rocks, trails etc..) Look forward to (potentially) meeting and wheeling with everyone! thanks in advance.

Mike

Hey Mike,

Have you ever spent much time in the NW before? I think you'll enjoy it! My brother and best friend live in Boston, so I visit every year, and it's definitely a different place for sure. We've got trails in the 1-2 hour range, but you can be lost on some forest roads with some amazing scenery in about 30 minutes from downtown.

Shoot me a PM with any questions on Seattle and I'll see if I can help....look forward to seeing you out here.

I've got an English Bulldog as well...your pup will dig the reduction in humidity

Will

Good to know, should know in the next 2 months where I end up for sure. Been to victoria, BC and portland, OR for a few days each so thats really all my NW experience lol. I have friends here that were stationed out there and they all loved it, so fingers crossed! Love bulldogs, I bet she would like the mild weather out there for sure. thanks again.

Mike

You will enjoy the change in scenery. Most of our trails are mountainous, thick trees, big stumps, hill climbs, and the occasional rock pile. We have quick shot day runs all the way to 2-3 day trail camping trips.
Here is a teaser for you

Lots of close options if you are moving to the Seattle metro area. Like Will said 1-2 hrs.

Also a bulldog owner!
