Crankmas is Evergreen’s holiday tradition — a time to celebrate riding, community, and the trails that make Washington such a special place to be on two wheels. This year, we’re adding a little extra holiday fun with a limited-time Crankmas giveaway, featuring two incredible prizes donated by local partners who truly understand the riding lifestyle.
This isn’t just about winning something great (though you definitely could). It’s about showing up for the trails, sharing why you ride, and closing out the year with momentum and gratitude.

When Kelly and her husband rolled back into mountain biking in 2020, they thought it might be a fun way to mark a milestone. Their son had just started college in Bozeman. On that first drop-off trip, the three of them rented bikes, climbed a long, lung-busting trail, and pointed their front wheels downhill. They finished the ride grinning.
“We rented mountain bikes and went up this climb and back down and thought, ‘Oh my god, this is so fun. Let’s start doing this again.’”
What they didn’t expect was how much getting back on the bike would reshape their health, their travel, and their sense of community in this new season of life.

2025 Bob Parlette Award Honors James Munly for Outstanding Service
James Munly is a Trail Crew Lead in our Central Washington Chapter. He's been the guy organizing rides and building trails for years, but he's also the go-between for riders and the Forest Service. Munly talks fast, but he moves slow, which is probably why he hasn't tired in the fight to build legal trails. He's been to years of meetings, organized volunteer groups and found a way to explain to the doubters, why mountain-bike trails are good!

What a night! On Saturday, November 8, the Evergreen community gathered at South Fork in North Bend for an unforgettable evening celebrating trails, riders, and the people who make Washington the best place to ride. 110 riders came from all over to reconnect with old friends and meet new adventure partners.

Outdoors for All and Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance have had a long-standing partnership, with the goal to get more people on bikes. This year, with the generous support of Outdoors for All, Evergreen was able to offer free shuttles to veterans at the Evergreen Mountain Bike Festival at Raging River in June. One group that joined us for rides to the top of Raging River was the veteran organization Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). While fun was had at the Festival, the excitement didn’t stop at the end of that ride.
