Conditions were great. Some spots were a little over grown but not so overgrown that it made things a bummer. One peanut butter muddy spot at the bottom of Lower DIY but otherwise things were smooth AF.

Lots of vegetation crreeping onto the trails, which made for a slower less fun ride. The only trails that were not overgrowne were; mainline, red alder and twisted helmlock.

Avalanche debris at 1.5 miles. There's a tunnel under the ice, requiring care when crossing. Trail was snow covered at 4.5 miles in, which is where we turned around.

The new Silkworm trail features are an absolute riot! The new wooden wall leaves me whooping with delight, and the Quarantine jump line is a fantastic run for building confidence in the air. I can't thank the volunteers enough for making...

Rode a single loop on the eastside of the tracks and explored the area closer to Boeing recreation fields. There are flow lines for you to enjoy just to the east of the main trail if you haven't found them yet. They are built well and there is...

Left from 356th and SVT lot about 8:00 AM, did Tokul East climb to top of Flowtron. Flowtron is pretty over grown and eroding due to recent rains, some switchbacks are heavily rutted. I crashed once pretty significantly, those blind switchbacks with...

After booking a stay at Seabrook I was very excited to learn Evergreen has built trails right in the town! Someone has very diligently gone and marked them all one-way due to Covid-19.
Unfortunately this has made it kinda hard to ride narnia becau...

Parked in the north lot, which was a mistake as the entrance to the boardwalk is choked with soul sucking mud. Stick to the south lot! Duthie was surprisingly muddy overall, every run had multiple mud holes to either dodge or splash through. Also kid...

Had a great time doing two laps on the East side of the tracks. Just like at Lord Hill, there are new jump improvements on the open doubles, additional bridge building, and a nice drop off of the northern switchbacks. It made for a exciting mom...

Got to the trailhead around 6:30 this morning and went directly to the Springboards and then up to do Goldeneye, Flowdeneye and Wishbone. Gnomes have done amazing work on Wishbone adding several great jumps and added an extension trail, just to the N...

Had a wonderful time going up and down, west to east, over the trail system and then off to the Falls for a little rest and tranquility. There is a DNR sign at the trailhead announcing a cougar sighting at the Falls. The bike trails are in great shap...

Parked up at the lower shuttle area and did Lower Skyline and then Pathfinder, Quick Release and Lower Showcase Showdown. Skyline was excellent and the Showdown was a little more greasy. Went OTB once there. Skyline was the fun one today! GPS track a...

Began early in the morning fog hoping the drier day would help the sun burn off the fog by the time I reached the ridge. I started climbing the west side of the ridge and took two spur roads to explore. One spur had a young bear that ran up hill quic...

Had a great, early, morning, riding the gravel bike from the Deer Creek gate up to Barlow Pass and on to the road to Monte Cristo. There is minimal snow now and just trees to clear occasionally. The highway is being regraded on the Darrington side of...

The trails are in pretty good shape, rode Bobsled up to 30330. 30330 up to Outback. There is logging going on up around Mousetrap, Upper Outback and the other trails up there. They have laid down a lot of peat(?) and the smell up there is awful. You...
