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...

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...

Started early this morning from exit 38 in a light rain hoping for the mid-morning break when I got to the viewpoints. It didn't clear up too much at all so without the views to enjoy, I started cutting more trees out of the way. There are a few pudd...

The road to Freund is posted at 25mph. My friends that live there routinely see us mountain bikers blowing by their house going waaay over that. So does the sheriff's deputy that lives there....
