4-5 hour all mountain rip up, over, and down Galbraith
More Info:
This will be a 4-5 hour "all mountain" ride. Not sure if my usual single track up trails have been logged under, so there may be some fire road climbing, but the plan is to climb the south side from Samish Way and then enjoy an hour of descending down the north side- Wonderland, 12 Monkeys, Oly, Granny's, and culminating in a run down SST, which I think is the best trail in the state. From there we'll climb back to the cell towers and hit the south side trails, Evolution, Unemployment Line, and Atomic Dog back to the cars. These trails are rowdy and moderately technical if ridden fast, but intermediates can absolutely enjoy them at their own pace- all stunts and drops have ride-arounds. Recommend 140-160mm travel bike and knee pads (and of course helmets.) We will stop to regroup at the end of each trail, so don't sweat it if you think you're not fast enough, the goal is to have fun. Expect 60-90 minutes of sustained climbing on both trips up the mountain- not going to be trying to set any speed records, but not lolly-gagging either. Bring plenty of water and snacks. If anyone wants to carpool I can meet at the Ash Way Park n Ride at 164th St in Lynnwood around 9- otherwise see you at the Samish Way parking area at Galby, I'll be in a dark blue Toyota w/ canopy and Ibis Mojo.
