Here are some great routes for biking with your whole family which are suggested by McNeil．

Iron Horse Trail

This is the McNeil family's favorite ride．The route ~s 26 miles and goes through the 2．1 mile Snoqualmie Tunnel．"Beautiful views，the tunnel，and places to stop and watch the rock climbers make it special，" McNeil said．"All our kids have taken their turn to go through the black tunnel bravely for the first time and we celebrate it at the end of the ride．" If you prefer，check http://bit，ly/Mlt9y4 for more information．

Centennial Trail

The Centennial Trail runs for 23 miles from Snohomish to Bryant．The trail is wide and smooth，and is safe for kids as it is off the roads．A nice stop is Lake Cassidy east of Marysville．A dock（码头） on the lake is fun to explore．It also has picnic tables and washrooms for a convenient（方便的） lunch-time stop．For a map，go to http：//bit．ly/L5qCeY．
