Saying Goodbye to a Trail Maintenance Master,
Community Builder, and Best Friend
It is with great regret that we acknowledge the loss of one of our founding members, former Board officer, and close friend Len Francies, who passed away on New Year's Day, while riding Grand Ridge with his close friend, Art Tuftee.
After a life of enthusiasm and boundless energy for riding, trail building, and serving others, Len’s heart came to rest on one of his favorite trails.

Each February mountain bikers (just like groundhogs) come out of their dens, stretch, and reach for their pint glasses on their way to Gerk’s Ski and Cycle for Winter Stoke 2016. (Mark your calendar for Feb. 6!)
An epic mingling of riders and trail gnomes, Winter Stoke offers a chance for the community to have a few drinks, watch the epic mountain bike videos made by ride buddies, and build stoke for the coming season—but also raise money for key Evergreen programs.

In the midst the winter riding season it’s a good time to remember the difference between wet riding and rut riding.
If you’re a Western Washington rider the winter season means rain, saying goodbye to cotton and short sleeves, and hello to fenders and shoe warmers. It means riding wet—both from rain above and the trail below.

You wouldn’t know from our trail team, since they’re toiling away in the snow in Issaquah, but progress is moving right along on the Olallie project. And both machines that YOU helped us purchase are running all cyclinders.
