My first bigger ride back at Tolt since the Big Clearcut: it's true that much of the trails (along with the forest) in the center are gone. However, some sylvan singltrack remains around the perimeter (especially on the north end), and a combin...

Had a great time starting from the North side at the park's parking lot. Headed up to the top of SST via a couple roads, Cougar and Cabin. The dry May was evident on the trails and the clearings were worn. The trails are wonderful and still plenty mo...

Did the full 🍭 including upper No Service and Invictus, retuning on Return Policy, then out on Poppin‘ Tops and Flow State. No Service and Invictus were slick and challenging, Invictus in particular being really tough. Everything else was...

After missing the opening party on Saturday I figured I'd check the trail out on Sunday 5/20, it was a lot wetter than expected stayed dry in Seattle but the rain in the foothills did a number on the trail, with all the traffic and rain the trails to...

It rained the whole way up. I rode 3/4 of the way to Mt. Washington crossing. The trail was very wet and had small puddles, which caused me to fall going uphill (In a small downhill section). Once you complete the switchbacks in the forest area, the...

Spent the morning exploring the trails I haven't done before at Black Diamond. I've been away for 2 1/2 years so a lot is new to me here. It was a great time. I started on the west side of hwy 169 then came across and went East then North for a nice...

It was all good, and in great condition - but watch out for ticks! My riding partner picked up a couple of them on this trail. Some repellent might be a good idea.

Fun twisties working our way up and around. Great day. Trail is in great shape, just a few wet spots from some rain the night before.

Attempted to take my 11 year old up for the first time on the loop out of the parking lot (logging road to trail at watershed). Got about 3/4 up FS 5510 and reached impassible (12"+) snow on the road. We got through a few patches but they got longer...

Hadn’t been to Duthie since some of the last cleanups were made on HLC. VooDoo, HLC, and Gravy Train are in perfect condition - clean and smooth as velvet. 🏄🏿♂️ Nothing like a Tuesday morning for crowds, either. 👍🏼

Trail is open and clear up to mile 3.5(4 miles from Buck Creek Parking Lot). Then I hit the burn zone and trail obstacles abound. Trees down, undercut trail, debris etc. Left the bike there and hiked a ways - snow still on the trail highe...

Went up from the west access and got up to the top of the Ridge's west side, 2900', but at the base of the hill to the tower, the road was still shaded and full of snow. I turned around at the snow and returned along the reservoir infrastructure and...

Did a couple rounds on the east side and then drove away. The trails are in good shape and only a couple mud troughs. Report on the west side said there were a couple small washouts but don't know exactly where to tell you. Probably the usual dropoff...

Snow at 3200' just after the campground. It's partially rideable, but would be an unpleasant uphill slog, so that's where I stopped and turned around. Otherwise, trail is in impeccable condition. Go for it!

Everything closed until May 19th. Nothing posted on Evergreen, Trail Forks or DNR etc about closure. I drove almost 2 hrs to ride the road up and DOWN!! Typical DNR unprofessionalism. DNR and their cronies have zero regard. I'...

Thanks to April snows, we have a little more time to wait before we can enjoy the Raging River loop unimpeded. I started from SR-18 on the Rattlesnake Rd to use the road instead of the shaded snowy upper trails. The road and its climb are a gru...

Spent an evening riding to the towers, and then doing the Springboards, Meetcutter, Goldeneye, Wishbone, Redline, the summit, and then returned along the pond trails. The new trail contours on Goldeneye and a repair of its long, sweeping, left turn w...
