Our mission is "to create, maintain, and protect sustainable mountain biking opportunities in Washington for all riders." Key word: sustainable! For us, sustainability can mean a few different things in the trail maintenance world: environmental sustainability, social sustainability, and economic sustainability.
While we design trails with longevity in mind, maintenance is a shared responsibility. Our trail crews and volunteer community share that work together, and we count on riders to give back through our volunteer work parties. Our trail building and maintenance practices are built on years of experience and research.

Words by Eddie Espinosa, Executive Director
Here in Washington, we are incredibly fortunate to have places like the Kettle Crest in the Colville National Forest and the lush forests of the Olympic Peninsula. Having had the opportunity to ride them in recent months, I’m reminded of the sense of scale and solitude that is increasingly rare in the modern world. No audible or visual distractions from cars or highways, and the itch to check your phone screen for an alert gets lost with your cell signal.

“What is more fun than coaching someone on a mission to ride ALL THE TRAILS?! nothing.”
That's how our Education Manager Heather DeChoudens introduced us to Barbara, a mountain biker in her 70's chasing new experiences, and, in Heather's words, “with the youngest of hearts.”

At Loup Loup, we've built 16 miles of singletrack so far, with a planned 35 miles total. The newest addition will be Goldilocks, a green bidirectional flow trail currently under construction, led by our pro builders with a lot of help from volunteers (thank you for making this possible!).

It's mid-summer, and you know what that means... brushing season! One of the simplest, most essential parts of trail maintenance. Love it or hate it, it's gotta get done - and we couldn't do it without our incredible volunteers!
