The occasional light rain made the rocks/roots a little trickier than they probably normally are, but the trail was still basically dry. Looks like there is some erosion due to horses collapsing the edge of the trail in some of the narrow side-...

Decided to see what all the hype was about on the new Predator DH trail. Seemed like a great day - midweek, been dry for a couple days, clear weather - and just before it gets mugged by the Enduro this upcoming Saturday.
Warmed up from Summit...

First off, I want to extend a huge thanks and gratitude for everyone who has worked on the trails above 300th. It was as if they had been leaf-raked clear of all the debris that adorned the trails post-windstorm, which was confirmed by the friendly n...

The trails were in great shape today. I rode last Monday just after the rains and everything was super slick with all of the roots, but today it had dried out and was perfect. Add to it, there were only about 6 other bikers in the area made for a gre...

A late summer storm put a few inches of snow on the the ridge so fire danger was low. Went up 4th of July and down the ridge to town. 2" of snow on the top 1000' of the ridge, but everything was rideable.
The climb is a grunt, but...

A portion of the trail system was burned in the Chelan Complex of fires this August. However, most trails are now open again with the exception of: Waterbar Heaven, Outback, Ridgeview, and Windsinger. Basically, the east side of the trail system was...

I went on the Temple loop trail and the main trail from the parking area. Mostly dry with some puddles. There are a lot of small branches down from the wind. If you haven't ridden here before there is a section of the Main trail going to t...

This was my very first time at Japanese Gulch. I will definitely go back and ride it again.
I can only say, I just wasn't thinking this morning. Big wind storm yesterday, a trail that meanders through the woods.......guess what? Lots of...

There is no doubt that Duthie is suffering through this summer, but that's no reason to stay away! It's actually pretty good, if you can apply a gentle touch. Ryan's is probably best left un-ridden, but Voodoo and HLC are still delivering. ...

Rode Hanson Ridge for the first time yesterday starting around 10am.
The dirt is in great condition, even moist in places under tree cover. Dusty in exposed places but no more than usual on a rocky trail. It was really fun to ride.
Awesome scenere...

I spent the afternoon and evening riding all over Rattlesnake Mountain visiting all the towers along the ridgeline and then heading north towards the power lines you see at the start of your ride. Before this ride, I was always wondering if there was...

Been doin this loop since the early 90's. Too bad its so far for us north enders to get to but defiantely worth your while to make the trip at least once a year. I've never done it counter clockwise and don't understand why people would want to and m...

Got a moderately big slice of Tiger today, Iverson CW, ETS to OTG to FR to JR to NW Timber. The recent rains had a net-zero effect out here; trails are still generally bone dry and loose. The wildfires raging in Chelan have cast an almost...

Did a solo ride counter-clockwise around this loop on Sunday, took just over 2 hours. I was glad that I got a relatively early start, as much of the road is south facing and pretty exposed to the sun. Riding the lolipop clockwise would let you do mos...

Landslide at Lower Dungeness trailhead is still an issue, but you can drive throughRd #230 right up to the edge of parking lot and park along side of road.
Bigger issue are the landslides near end of the trail itself. You will need to hik...
