Ah, yes, Olympia, where the dirtiest hippies mix with the right-wingiest right wingers.

Indeed! It's kind of strange here, not sure how I feel about it. Cost of living is also unbelievable, at least coming from AZ. Happy cake day, btw!

Hi neighbor. Though technically I’m in Lacey. Things are definitely cheaper here than in northern WA.

Howdy neighbor! You're correct, but it's still surprising for such a big town. The nature sure kicks butt though.

Went on a group gravel ride in the Capitol forest, can confirm the mix.

A gravel ride in a Washington forest sounds amazing.

Riding a bike off roads usually on gravel or dirt. It usually doesn't involve large rocks or roots like some mountain bike trails.

There are bikes specialized for gravel riding called gravel bikes. They usually have slightly wider tires than road bikes, but are a similar shape.
