Ride Reports
Lots of deraileur breaking sticks from the winter wind storms in the first section. After that all trail is in great shape until the massive tree that has fallen across the trail after the clear cut section. Tree was too big for our handsaws but we cut off all the stabby branches of t...
Went North to Galbraith at sunrise this morning to get a quick ride in, in the fog, before the rest of my day took over. On my way to Scorpion, there was a tower upgrade crew doing some site improvements to the lower tower site and the road is pretty muddy. Scorpion had several puddles and some s...
With all the smoke in the air, I drove back north to Galbraith to avoid the smoke but still had a little haze. I pulled into the lot a little after 10am and Bambi's brother was just walking around the berry bushes at the new parking lot's north driveway. It was a neat surprise. I summited three t...
Had a good morning start in the new parking lot with five other buddies and began climbing up Pony Express and Huff N Puff to the top. We came down Mohawk first and then Happy Hour. I avoided the huge rock rolls but the trails were wonderful! We took the roads over to SST and went all the way to...
Met up with a former coworker and friend and enjoyed the mountain today going up Huff and Puff and descending on Evolution, Scorpion and Unemployment Line. With a renovated dropper post, all the tech and flow was so much more enjoyable. We found a lot of sandy dryness on Radical Dragon so the roc...
I had a free morning today so I went right back up to the towers a couple more times today to retry Evolution, attempt Scorpion, and inspect Huff and Puff. I enjoyed all three trails and really admired the Otter wood sculpture pictured while crossing a bridge. I guess they could be called "Huff"...
I get around to many places in Washington but I need to get back here more often. Darrington is my happy place but Galbraith is everything I need and has much more for everyone else! I met up with several other guys and we had just a wonderful time on Unemployment Line, Evolution, Mullet, Cheech...
First time at Galby, and let me tell you this place is for real. World class trails, well marked and maintained and easy access from Bellingham. We rode Huff n Puff up, and then crushed Evolution and Unemployment Line down. Both are poppy, with wood features, doubles and hips; again great trails...
It's been years since I've been to Galbraith and it was just as good as I remembered! I haven't been there since before they started logging it and was worried it would be a shell of what it use to be but I still really enjoyed myself. There are definitely some area where you're ridin...
