UP/Tacoma waterfront ride....medium effort

A nice 28 mile ride through UP/Tacoma waterfront areas. 1800 feet vertical ascent, but its pretty spreadout. There are however some awesome downhills, 40mph on a road bike. mtb hit 48mph -  N30th, last mile of 5 mile drive, 6th Ave, several smaller hills in the waterfront area of UP. End with a quick 200 foot climb over a block to end.

This route keeps you pretty well out of traffic, at least the main arterials, except N 30th and Ruston. Make sure you have lights on your boike for the 51st street tunnel.
