Since the nordic ski season ended for the Summit I figured I'd make an early attempt on the cat track still existing. However the snow didn't freeze overnight and recent rains really softened it up so traction on normal tires was zero. Wait until the...

I rode part of the CCC road/trail and extension. I parked on the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Road and the Bessemer Road gate. With lots of new pavement - driving this was a breeze - only one dirt section of a few hundred yards of bomb crater p...

Quick nice dry easy trails. Will be great for cyclocross practice in the fall. Could use better maps. Trails were unmarked except for one with white posts with arrows on it. 2 long staircases were great for practice and lots of logs for jumping over....

Parked off 76th and 44th by the Mukilteo Community Garden. Rode most of the upper SE trails which were clear but a bit wet. Dropped down to the RR grade from there and took the grade and access road down. Circled back up past the dog park and the tra...

Master link trail was pretty clear a little hike at the end of the trail. When you get to the gravel road snow is ankle high so you need to hike a little bit to get to the bottom of predator im pretty sure the snow goes all the way up to the peak. We...

Started at the Oso General Store this morning and went East on the trail to Squire Creek and then back to the car along 530 along with some of the trail segments when the highway shoulder wasn't adequate for safety. There was some heavy rutting by co...

New trail on the site. Started at twilight with cold, clear skies. The International Space Station just flew over, reflecting the sunrise down to earth for several minutes of viewing (a little nerdy). Rode the trail to Oso and returned on SR 530 to s...

In need of some maintenance and clean up for sure. I wouldn't call it "Sketchy" if you are used to the city, but it just wasn't really fun - broken down, lots of garbage. Seems like it's seen better days.

Was 12 degF this morning in Darrington and 6-8" of snow with a crust. I figured traction would be good but the snow was too soft still. The road had melt/freeze ice in the double track so after 2 miles in, it was too icy and downhill was...

Started real early due to a break in the convergence zone so no rain or snow when I started. The road was clear until about 2400 feet when a trace was collecting. At 2800 feet I was riding in 5 inches of wet snow and the final climb to the towe...

I noticed the last ride report was back in August and I figured I would give an update regarding the current conditions. I rode up master link to the start of OTG. I did not go to the summit because it was just too cold and too windy. The trails were...
