One warm-up climb, then a lot of rolling singletrack. We'll ride to the group's level and regroup as necessary, but keep the mo going at a brisk pace.
Meet at Tolt Middle School across the street from the entrance to Tolt MacDonald Park. If the school is having an event and the lot is full, park on Tolt Ave near the entrance to the park.
High Winds and/or Heavy Rain cancels, light drizzle and we ride. Lights with 2 hr burn required.
Leave at 6:00.

We're officially sponsored by Sturdy Bitch and Big Tree Bikes so there's a bit of a name change on the rides... but, we are still going to keep on going with the weekly women’s rides with an intent to build/maintain fitness throughout the winter. These rides are for riders with intermediate skills and with a good base fitness. Riders should be comfortable climbing 1500-1800 feet in a 15-18 mile ride. Riders must be comfortable riding at night and have their own light. There will be little to no stopping on the ride, we will be moving at a consistently medium-fast pace.
Rides will generally take place on Wednesdays though occasional weekend rides with more extended distance and elevation gain will be posted as well. Riders should bring their own water, food, tools, pump and spare tube.
If you already have a good base of skill and fitness and want to maintain that and grow your climbing ability to the winter, come on out and join me. Will ride in the drizzle, pouring rain cancels.
Please drop from the ride no later than 4PM if you don’t intend to show up. If there are names on the list, people will show with the expectation that you’ll be there. : ) Don’t make us drive out to find ourselves alone at the trailhead. : )
Thanks!
Looking forward to strong legs, good lung capacity, and a renewed love for climbing.

It's mostly in the title, but the plan is to meet at the bike shop and ride for a couple hours by light, at a pace set by the group, with no rider left in the darkness. We can ride either side of the road, or a combination of trails closer to the road on both sides.
Please come prepared for the cold night air, and sufficient light for a couple hours of riding.
Heavy rain will cancel this ride. |

Based on the feedback we received at the town hall, it seems like Evergreen members would like to have more opportunities to provide input to board/staff.
We're scheduling this meeting as a casual sort of thing where you can bring your lunch, ask questions about current projects/plans, and tell us what is important to you.
Based on how this works, we'll try to schedule additional sessions from time to time. |

The Bootcamp trail is flowing nicely (thanks so much to all of our awesome volunteers), so we're moving on... Time to start benching the new NW XC trail (if it's raining) and fixing up the NE XC trail (if it's not raining).
The work party will start at 10am and run until 2pm (maybe later), but feel free to show up and leave any time... just make your way to the clearing and call Kevin at 206-335-8361 when you get there. You may have to call a couple times -- it's sometimes difficult to hear and access phones out on the trail.

THIS ONE WILL BE A DOUBLE - WE'LL DO IT AS AN OUT AND BACK TO DUTHIE - RUN BACK DOWN TO THE TRAILHEAD, THEN TURN AND DO IT AGAIN. IF YOU ARE ONLY IN FOR ONE, NO PROBLEM! JUST BAIL WHEN WE RETURN TO THE TRAILHEAD THE FIRST TIME. :)

As we approach the grand opening at Duthie Hill, there are some things that Mike and Kevin need help with and I'm assembling a crew to help check them off the list.
1) We need to find/build/transport a secure storage solution for tools, supplies, and if possible bikes
2) We would like to build some big ass cedar tables to be used in the clearing
3) The NW XC loop needs some additional work
This will be our first meeting in a series between 2/13 and 5/22 (opening) the plan is to get out there a minimum of 2X per month. The 2/13 meeting will entail gathering requirements from Mike Westra, making a parts list for the tables, and if possible delivering a storage solution.
You don't actually have to be old, or a guy to join this cartel. Come on out and help if you can.

Hey all!
We are having a great time working on the new line that you all helped us build at Dirt day! So how about you come out and help us trans plant ferns and saplings along side of our cool new trails? If the weather is decent, you could come and ride too! We are cleaning up the area around the trails and possibly chipping some of the slash too. Come on out and if you have a shovel or mcLeod then bring that with you! And if you came out to the dirt day, or if you have done some riding on the new trail, please help us name it! We are having a contest to end on the first of march. Check it out on our Facebook page, just search for Black Diamond Freeride park, go to the "name the new line" on events!
If you have any questions, shoot me an e mail at Shuttlefever@gmail.com
See you out there!! |

This is a followup for those that have recently attended a rider education class and would like to learn the the maze of trails which remain unmapped at Saint Edward State Park and the adjacent properties.
This ride will assume that you have limited fitness and you are still working on your cross country skill set and confidence (aren't we all?). We will ride at a pace that suits the group. When we encounter something challenging we will work on that. Some call this "do-overs".
We will roll within 10 minutes of the start time and be away from the parking lot for 3 hours covering between 6 and 10 miles of trail. I put my number at the bottom so if you're close but late call and will try to connect our relative time-space-dots.
You'll see and if you choose to try switchbacks and some rollable drop offs. If conditions are favorable you will have the option to try the gravity pit (or not!).
You and your bike should both be in good working order and don't forget your helmet.
So sign up and start enjoying your bike on dirt trails today!
I've limited the group size but if some more experienced riders wish to come along and help I could use 2-3 helper-colleagues so send me an email so I'll know you'll be there (and thanks!).

Want to get outdoors and keep out of the rain? If you have some spare time, head down under the freeway and join us for some work at the I-5 Colonnade Mt Bike Park. We'll be wrapping up drainage repairs, fixing up a few trails, building a few retaining walls and doing some general clean-up.
We'll start at 10am and wrap up by dark, but join us any time after 10. Call Mike when you get there: 425-241-7806.

We will be repairing and replacing bridges on the East side trails (Real Life Church property). At least 4 are hazardous and need immediate attention or the trail will need to be closed out of liability concerns (liability can exist in WA if the owner of the property knows of a man made hazard). This can be a lot more fun than digging in the dirt so please come out and help! We'll meet at the entrance to the RLC property across from the coal car on Hwy169. If you have some experience with building structures please lob me an email so we know how many separate bridges we will be able to tackle at once. If you dont have any experience that's great too; you can get some here!

It may be cold out, but its a great time to get outside and ride your bike. You'll get a jump on the spring season and be ready for more rides as the weather gets better. This class will teach you to ride safely and have fun on single track trails. You'll learn how to ride over the slippery rocks, roots, and logs of the Pacific Northwest. Soon, you'll be ready to join us for some fun rides. We look forward to seeing you in class.
This class will be co-taught by Fredrika, Jerry, Brandelle, Ann D, and Dave P. (Click for more info)
