Tacoma, WA Riding Pointers
Looks like I may be moving from "beautiful" west Texas to the Tacoma area (wife wants to live across the Tacoma Narrows bridge, actually). Looking for any road riding tips for the area. Reputable LBS, regular or not-so-regular group rides, mechanics of riding in wet conditions (brake pads, wet-weather lubes, clothing, etc) vice the hot/dry/dusty conditions I'm in here, what is the terrain like, etc. I'm riding a compact crank, so rolling hills are no problem.
Thanks in advance -
