Ride Reports
Love this place
Still the typical awesome PNW cross country trails up there. Big clear cut where The Burn was. New trail rising from the ashes, Phoenix, which is long and fun like The Burn used to be. Almost no blow down after volunteers cleared the t...
Early morning in Mukilteo
Did three runs down the east side of the RR tracks early this morning, first one under lights. The trails had a little greasy mud in spots but were in good shape. There was only one wind damaged spot on a less traveled trail halfway up the east si...
Earn your turns
Rode Ollalie for the first time on Sunday. Incredible weather for January. Blue skies in the mid 50's and no rain for the previous few days meant perfect trail conditions. A couple small patches of snow but the trail is clear all the way up. ...
Still no snow, lots of wind evidence
Started early again on the Connector, then Masterlink, Quick Link and the top of East Summit. Then came down the Summit road to Predator for a nice ride down all the way back to the parking lot. Looked down at my handlebars and the iphone was gone...
Snow all gone today
Got to the upper lot at 7am and took the Connector and Masterlink with lights blazing, started down East Tiger from the summit, and then OTG and NOTG. Then Fully Rigid, Joy Ride, NW Timber, Legend and Easy Tiger and back to the car. There is no sn...
2019 New Years Ride
Great way to start off 2019. The only snow/ice was on the last bit of fire road off of Master Link. Trail was in good condition with just a few puddles.
Come check it out!
Relative to other Evergreen-supported trails, not many people ride Moss Lake. But it’s a great area with a small, dedicated group of unsanctioned folks who work hard to quietly maintain the trails (most notably is the infamous trail gnome, Bev). I...
Awesome Ride & Mostly Clear
I ride this trail frequently. The snow starts at the makeshift campground clearing and was about a 1/4 inch. The lower half is clear and is main reason why most people ride it.
Cheers! and Merry Christmas!!!
Trees down across trails post-storm
Multiple trees down across trails in Big Finn Hill Park after the windstorm on Friday. Trees and branches are blocking trails east and west of Juanita Drive. Smaller branches were moveable with 1-2 people. Larger branches and trees will need a cha...
Trails with raised frost
Took a friend to the skills park today and had a good time showing him the area. We toured the trails and then out to the Whitehorse and back. Trails had about an inch of frost but the traction otherwise was solid. I took my buddy up to the summit...
Favorite new trails
Rode upward mobility to Poppin Tops (Upper) last weekend. Trail quality was excellent for the time of year. A few muddy spots on the way up but easy to ride through or around. No snow.
Upward Mobility is a very well made climbing trail...1...
Warning
Saw a cougar 0.4 miles from the parking lot on Iron Horse Trail. This was on the way back from Olallie trail head around 3:30p. Cougar saw me as I was riding towards him/her and it started to run away from me, then took a right turn into the...
CS Grand Ridge
Rode from Duthie parking to grand ridge to water tower loop. Completed the loop then back to duthie and rode moving on and step it up. about 14 miles and 1.6K elevation gain. 4 riders total. Really nice weather and great trail conditio...
Beautiful and without snow
Started at the Cedar Falls trailhead and took a side trail to get to the iron horse for the 2 mile intro. I did Olallie about a year ago and my command post failed so I could not get all the way to the top comfortably. This time was different. I s...
Can't wait for it to dry out
Took the dog for a walk on this trail to see how it has matured over the last couple of years. The newest trail starting at the lookout gate is a really challenging, "black diamond" personality that will be a challenge for everyone. I just walked...
Break-in at 356th 10/26/2018
Multiple windows broken on my friend‘s Syncro between 1PM and 3PM. Due to after-market locks the f****rs couldn’t open the doors and weren't willing to mar their anterior scales by slithering into the van over the glass left behind. Post info if y...
Who took the spoke wheel?
After a 7 person work party on the Ridge Trail clearing drainages and puddling spots before the winter rains and spring melt, I rode up to the trail system summit to the bench area where there used to be a front wheel nailed to a tree. It is gone...
Kiss them goodbye
King County have started what they call Forest Stewardship work ( logging ) on Henry"s Ridge & have closed access into the all trails north of the ponds & east of the water tanks while they do the work .Effectively , though, all the trails i...
For explorers only
I've been looking for more Stevens Pass rides and tried this one for the advertised views and fall colors. The trail starts with a 1/2 or 3/4 mile grunt or hike and then continues with a slightly less steep trail. It is tough to maintain a consist...
Pretty but won't repeat
This trail was on my wish list for sometime and just got a chance to do it this week and see the fall colors.
I must say this trail was a little bit of a disappointment. Usually with an epic ride you get long climbs followed by long descen...
Rode corral pass/dalles ridge/palisades alone on a lovely day in late september. I parked at the Ranger Creek parking lot, across 410 then up to white river trail. White river trail was in very good shape, lovely duff. Can see some places where fi...
A real gem, and improving!
No signage yet at the parking lot, which is shared with the Jennifer Dunn trail (posted No Bikes). The first mile or so is under constructio, diligently being converted/improved from abandoned forrest road to singlettack, but is very ridable...
twisty rooty FUN!
After learning to ride on Galbraith in the 90's, I've finally found a home down here in the Sound. So old school - so fun. Lots of really twisty, technical trails with many many off angle roots. Not much up and down but enough to keep it interesti...
my favorite loop
Fun ride did the loop. Starts out with a lot of climbing but its not to loose so its rideable. Beautiful views no matter what direction you look. The trail seemed to handle the traffic pretty good, it did not seem packed for holi...
A real hoof
Made it to the very end. About a mile and a half from the turnaround where nf-350 connects I had a close encounter with a large mountain goat who was not super excited about letting me by. Be aware Curred me of riding this trail solo.<...
