What a great ride. Shuttle up to the upper trailhead, climb 3 miles to the top and descend 8 miles and 5200 ft. Conditions were great. Very little damage from the motorcycles. Trail was covered in Maple leaves at the bottom where things got a little...

Trails are amazing right now - totally dry (though that's probably changing as I write this!) - sticky hard pack with tons of traction under a carpet of golden orange leaves. The leaves make the trail hard to spot at times, and beg for a little bit o...

Our group decided to shuttle this ride and save the long uphill treck. Trail was dry and in good shape and we only encountered two logs over the trail. I found the ride to be clean and smooth. The river crossings are super easy as very lit...

I had a little bit of time in the middle of the day today to make the quick trip east over the pass. It was a beautiful day, and Rat Pac is an early fall classic, so I went for it.
I decided to try the newly signed ascent path (see the map on...

Remoteness
100% Singletrack
Some technical stuff
We got on the 10:30 ferry from Anacortes to Orcas. My wife played shuttle driver. &nb...

Trail is in good condition with some ruts from the recent rain at the beginning. One Tree across the trail about 1/2 way down.

Finally checked this one off the list! Great route, great views.
Fun times, but I think if I ride it again, I'll do an out and back via the Iron Bear trail; CW loop has sooo much hike-a-bike.
Anyway, trail was in great shape overall. &...

Was a pretty day for the Snoqualmie Pass area and afterward, I added a trip through and back through the tunnel.
Here is the GPS track and pictures at points of interest
For you Snoqualmie skiers, this is a good ride to explore off season.

Encountered wet snow above 6,000 feet, making the trail wet and slushy in the afternoon. Be ready for wet feet. The larches were golden and glorious. It's a beautiful trail and well worth the long climb up. The trail is popula...

Strava Link: Hansen Ridge Strava RideConditions: Beautiful fall day around 45 degrees to start, sun and clouds all day. The trails were in perfect shape, only one mildly muddy spot. Streams weren't really running because it's been so dry. ...

Suggest going someone who has been before. If you go to the right, (through the gate) that is the bow clubs land and they will stop you and ask for your permits (guess how I know...)
If you go through the left gate there isnt really anywhere to go....

Rode this with a buddy of mine who's been dragging me to ride on the peninsula for a while. Whoa, just learned what I've been missing out on! This trail is pure wilderness and yet you'll get close to a couple parking lots/trail heads about mid-way sh...

Only a little dry in some places. Importantly, the ridiculously steep temporary reroute is now gone and the new reroute looks and rides awesome! All the big blowdowns in trecherous sections are gone as well. The trail looks really good!

The SVT is now closed at 356th. I assume it is also closed off of Tokul Rd.

Group of 6 of us did Summit to OTG and then Predator yesterday, on a glorious fall day in the PNW. This was the first time I've been to Tiger since before the CDC Enduro, so I was curious to see how the trails were holding up. Obviously I'm not sur...

Returned to Cherry Valley for the first time since the last school year ended. Great to be back, and conditions did not disappoint! Totally clear everywhere - no blowdown, and every single creek crossing was bone dry, except for the big o...

Tried out both Tokul East & Tokul West in the last week. The East seems to be a bit desolute and the tracks are in need of repair. The west on the other hand had great trails! Tokyo drift / the jumps is a lot of fun and not so xc as the description w...

Short story:
Trail is in good shape except for the washout described in other reports. Washout isn't bad - about 100 feet total and you will have to carry your bike over one log then under another and climb up a steep bank(see photo). Di...

Looks like all the logging is finished and this gated road is once again open for riding. Lots of new clearcuts to look at.
