Ride Reports

Skookum is drying out. No more standing water but still lots of soft spots.  Big news is that the HUGE "Tourist Tree" tree located at the end of the campground(if you do the S/WR loop you ride right by it) has fallen.  Looks like the FS did...

The rebuild of KGB is 99% done, and the trail is good to ride.  We'll still be back out there one or two more times buffing out a few corners, the little hike-a-bike up from the stream, and fine tuning certain features, but it's all good to go....

Added this trail to the site. It is the 1400' peak to the north of Cherry Valley. At the top it has a small view of Mt. Baker and some views to Monroe and Sultan. It was a nice ride for exploring. Next time I'll try linking to it from the Cherry Vall...

Don't let the warm clear weather fool you; the recent rains reactivated a lot of the muddy areas and turned the forest into a steamy jungle.  I think I saw Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner hacking their way to Cartegena!  The upper trail...

Trails were in prime condition, 7rh time to this trail network, new trail was very fun but is still being worked on, very busy that day, parking lot was full so we parked on side of road like others. Good for beginners, freeride trail needs bigger st...

This road is closed at the 2 mile point(at the bridge just past the entrance/exit of Iverson Trail) for logging.  They don't work weekends, however all their equipment/piles of logs etc are at a few different spots on the road.  Closed sign...

Nearly as good as it gets out there!  Timely report though, since it looks like more rain is coming starting tomorrow.

Hit Sage Hills at just the right time. Sunshine, blue skies, wild flowers in bloom, zero dust. I'd say you have 1 or 2 weeks before it starts getting dusty. Located just outside of Wenatchee. Check it out!

Added another Highway 2 trail to the Evergreen site today after planning and riding it for the first time today. The ride starts at an access gate off of Sultan Basin Road and then after a mile, climbs into forested clearcuts and switch backs. There...

We rode East Tiger Summit, Off The Grid, Fully Rigid, Joyride, and NW Timber. Everything was in awesome shape, but Fully Rigid is sure taking a beating in some places.  There was still a bit of snow in shady spots near the summit.

My buddy and I just hit a few basics: VooDoo, 2Hi, HLC, Gravy Train and Ryan's. Everything was riding great. It had been a long time since I hit 2Hi, and was disappointed to see how it's changed (all the gaps are tables). HLC is flowing really nice -...

This was my first time at Soaring Eagle. The southern section was a complete bog after a fair amount of rain 2-3 days ago. That section was awful, and I would avoid it if it has rained recently. The northern area trails were in much better shape, wit...

I rode Skookum/White River today (4-15-15) and I have never seen it so saturated and muddy -- with lots and lots of puddles. White River is better but still lots of water on that trail too. I'm going to give it some time to dry out before I go back.

Victoria Tract was just North of the 'convergence zone' today so it never rained today after lunch. The trails are still closed (Tree Farm decision, still early in season) but the roads are always available. Since it was my first time there, I enjoye...

I've been meaning to write this ride report for a while... Rode this last September and as a novice mountain biker, this trail is much harder than listed on this site. The climb is not technical but long. There was more hike a bike than anticipated a...

All trails are snow free and riding good. Enjoy!! Also, a new trail segment is currently being constructed near the North Junction TH. This will make the Outback Trail a stacked loop.

Fun night on the trails up at Lake Desire park, there were a few cars at the trailhead but not to many, encountered less than 10 people, all hikers on the main road, only saw one other biker. I don't know why but I was a little concerned about seeing...

Very fun trail with nicely machined turns on the descent.  Kudos to the builders.  We arrived at the trailhead at the same time as a 15 minute cloud burst.  After waiting it out, we set out on the ride.  The ascent is steady with...
