The ODT, in turn, offers a nonmotorized pathway for recreation and commuting that serves as a catalyst for regional economic development. Each year, hundreds of thousands of locals, regional and national visitors—as well as international tourists—ride, walk, run, roll, and trot along the ODT. Guests from nearly 100 Washington cities, 40 states, and five continents, visit the ODT annually. None of this is possible without the support of our sponsors. We are grateful for the sponsorships we have received during the past year. Thank you!

Get your bike all tuned up and ready for the season while supportig your favorite trail. Purchase your bike tune-up coupons here <https://olympicdiscover ytrail.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?u=862004159972503fe35fefc93&id=7faa04c661&e=ec6d6bb2eb> . Here's how it works.... 1. Choose the bike shop that you'd like the tune-up completed at. 2. Purchase one (or more) of the $90 each bike tune-up coupons. 3. PTC will mail the coupons to you. This is good for a standard bike tune-up. 4. Take the coupon and your bike to the bike shop you chose. 5. The bike shop will donate their labor - meaning they are donating 100% to the trail. 6. Enjoy your bike all season long! Thank you to the following bike shops who have generously donated their time for these coupons to support the Peninsula Trails Coalition. We appreciate the partnership of these local bike shops! Thank you.
