Saturday evening marked the end of yet another amazing Evergreen Mountain Bike Festival presented by Clif at King County’s Duthie Hill Park in Issaquah, WA. For 6 years the festival has continued to grow, and this year was exceptional in how much it grew. With close to 3000 attendees, and 50+ vendors demoing 17 different bike brands under sunny skies, we saw record numbers of families, first time Duthie visitors, and a record numbers of new Evergreen members!

It’s still got snow on it, right? Welcome to 2015, the year of the mountain bike. Like other trails in the region, Hansen Ridge has shed her winter coat and welcomes riders to her rocky, medium-technical trails with big views, challenging climbs, and the potential of a mid-ride dip in the lake.

We need your help! You may remember last winter that we reached out to our community to collect used mountain bikes in good condition for a potential program we would like to develop.
We are now close to launching this program: Evergreen’s Trail Access Program – providing opportunities for less fortunate youth to get outside and have fun learning how to mountain bike.
