Rode Devils Gulch up to the 4-way, then down Mission Ridge. Had been several years since I'd ridden this eastern WA classic, and it was time to hit it again.
Trails were in, well, decent shape, but there were a fair amount of deep rutted puddl...

Trails on both sides of Hwy 169 in Black Diamond in good shape despite rain.
But beware. Two out of 5 vehicles broken into and items stolen. We returned to the east side parking area about 7PM to find broken windows and missing items. Mostly dry cl...

Started in the early morning under lights and climbed to the top, across the ridge and then down to Olney Pass Kiosk, and then back to the car. Logging has pushed the road all the way across the ridge eliminating the heavy brush section to the tower....

Rode it after the recent rains, which resulted in super tacky conditions. Only a couple spots that were soft, and only a couple other ones with dust where the rain couldn't get through the dense tree cover. All-in-all, what an awesome ride! It's the...

Really cool 1.5 - 2 hour ride. There's main road entrance which is gated. You drive up to to top where the lookout, bathroom, trailmap and parking are, ride down and then take road or trails back up to the top. This ride I started at low entrance (Ea...

I thought it would be good to give an old guy's point of view on these great trails...I'm 52 and just getting back into the swing of things after many years out of the saddle, and there's a lot of folks like me riding BDOS. There's a ton of fun to be...

Trails still in pretty good shape after recent rain/wind. Starting to get a little bit greasy with downed poplar leaves in some areas, but fine in all the evergreen areas, with surprisingly little standing water/mud. Rode up the forrest r...

The ride was enjoyable and challenging at times for speed. The maples and alders are shedding and covering the roots and with the rains we'll have some slippery conditions. Get a ride in soon. Hide your stuff in the trunk and out of view. There was a...

Park in the parking lot across the street from the Black Raven Brewery in Redmond. Ride up 95th Street to Willows and cross the street to the other side. After crossing the street make a right on Willows. Keep riding (about 2 blocks) until you see a...

I know I am getting old but sheesh! Kachess Ridge is rated 3 out of 5 for physical effort but it gains 3600 feet to get to the ridge. Tiger gains less than half that and is rated the same. On a good day (not every day is a good da...

Rode from the NE 300th st parking to the small loop to the south first, and then went northbound up the eastern side of the trail system and then approached the monument from the north side. It was a little bit of exploring but was neat when going th...

Know going in, this is a rough trail. Chewed up by motos, overgrown and extremely hazardous to bike, life and limb. One in our party ripped his derailleur off on a rock in the trail and had to carry bike out last 3 miles. Bottom hal...

Wanted to provide as much beta on this killer riding area as it was surprisingly difficult to find info on conditions, level of difficulty, best places to start etc. Of course, maybe there's a reason it's hard to find good beta ... those who ride her...

Good news is that the trails are in great shape and we saw very little mud despite the recent rains. The bad news is that two cars had windows smashed out in the parking lot, in the middle of the day, on a Tuesday. Luckily, someone pulled...
