2025 Bob Parlette Award Honors James Munly for Outstanding Service
James Munly is a Trail Crew Lead in our Central Washington Chapter. He's been the guy organizing rides and building trails for years, but he's also the go-between for riders and the Forest Service. Munly talks fast, but he moves slow, which is probably why he hasn't tired in the fight to build legal trails. He's been to years of meetings, organized volunteer groups and found a way to explain to the doubters, why mountain-bike trails are good!

What a night! On Saturday, November 8, the Evergreen community gathered at South Fork in North Bend for an unforgettable evening celebrating trails, riders, and the people who make Washington the best place to ride. 110 riders came from all over to reconnect with old friends and meet new adventure partners.

Outdoors for All and Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance have had a long-standing partnership, with the goal to get more people on bikes. This year, with the generous support of Outdoors for All, Evergreen was able to offer free shuttles to veterans at the Evergreen Mountain Bike Festival at Raging River in June. One group that joined us for rides to the top of Raging River was the veteran organization Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). While fun was had at the Festival, the excitement didn’t stop at the end of that ride.

Alright riders. How are your Dirty Dozens coming along? You have less than 2 months to keep checking off these twelve trails!
The Dirty Dozen is a virtual activity for you and your friends to get out and explore 12 new trails outside of your network, all across the state of Washington, highlighting the riding in each of our regional chapters, plus a few outside of our chapters.
And, while it’s not a contest or competition, those who complete each trail before December 31st, 2025 and record their rides using TrailForks will receive a 2025 Dirty Dozen Trailforks badge as a virtual medal of honor.

Evergreen’s education program is led by a statewide team of over 100 certified instructors who help riders of all ages and skill levels build confidence and have fun on the trail. While our group classes take a seasonal pause for winter, private lessons are still available; and our popular youth Dirt Camps and spring group classes will open for registration soon in 2026. Meet some of the instructors who make it all happen!

It’s almost time for our Singletrack Soirée, happening Saturday, November 8 at South Fork in North Bend.
Think: dinner, drinks, stand-up comedy, exclusive auction items, and fundraising for the trails.
Not your typical gala. No tuxes. No stuffy speeches. Just our trail-loving community coming together to celebrate, connect, and raise funds to keep Washington the best place to ride.
