Right now, Congress is working on the next surface transportation reauthorization bill and the decisions made now will shape how safe, affordable, and connected our transportation system is for years to come. This also impacts our shared mountain bike trails. A national coalition of more than 1,100 organizations has urged Congress to protect and strengthen these investments, but lawmakers need to hear directly from constituents. You can take action and make a difference today by contacting your members of congress.

Evergreen is powered by its community. Every year, hundreds of volunteers show up across Washington to help us build and maintain trails, advocate for access, support our events, and coach new riders through our education program. The dedication of these folks are the foundation of our organization, the stewards of our extensive trail systems, and the glue that bonds our community together.

Did you know you can ride forested singletrack trails right in the heart of Seattle?
We designed and built these urban mountain bike trails with the help of volunteers over the course of many years.
Both the north and south loops are ready to explore, just minutes from downtown and fully accessible by bike or light rail. Huge thanks to our partners Seattle Parks and Recreation, Friends of Cheasty Greenspace, and the Seattle Parks Foundation for making these trails a reality for everyone to enjoy right in the City of Seattle.
Check out our other blog post for more info about the Cheasty project.

Crankmas is Evergreen’s holiday tradition — a time to celebrate riding, community, and the trails that make Washington such a special place to be on two wheels. This year, we’re adding a little extra holiday fun with a limited-time Crankmas giveaway, featuring two incredible prizes donated by local partners who truly understand the riding lifestyle.
This isn’t just about winning something great (though you definitely could). It’s about showing up for the trails, sharing why you ride, and closing out the year with momentum and gratitude.

When Kelly and her husband rolled back into mountain biking in 2020, they thought it might be a fun way to mark a milestone. Their son had just started college in Bozeman. On that first drop-off trip, the three of them rented bikes, climbed a long, lung-busting trail, and pointed their front wheels downhill. They finished the ride grinning.
“We rented mountain bikes and went up this climb and back down and thought, ‘Oh my god, this is so fun. Let’s start doing this again.’”
What they didn’t expect was how much getting back on the bike would reshape their health, their travel, and their sense of community in this new season of life.
