We have big plans for 2016 to provide you with quality trails, fun events and rides, skill building classes, and opportunities to help maintain and build trails across the State of Washington. This coming year will be our biggest growth year ever, as we will have five times the number of trail building projects underway and major growth in our education and rides programs, with more demand for races and events to strengthen our community.
In order to accomplish this work, we need your support— donate today at evergreenmtb.org/donate

The Education program has wrapped up an exciting and successful season!
Nearly 800 statewide participants took some type of mountain bike skills class with Evergreen's Education program, and almost 400 of them were kids! We’re also excited to report that we were able to offer more women-only classes than ever before, which remain increasingly popular.

What do you get when you add pizza, beer, and 60 miles of upcoming trail projects to 150 mountain bikers? You get the Evergreen 2015 Annual Community Meeting!
Last Friday mountain bikers from across the state joined Evergreen leadership to hear about the upcoming plans for trailbuilding around the state, meet new officers, and give feedback on Evergreen’s 2020 Draft Vision.

When the sun shines (kind of) and a pig gets roasted, there’s one thing you can count on at Tiger Mountain: that mountain bikers will come. But we didn’t realize how many would come--over 400 people showed up to celebrate the opening of Predator, the latest result of the strong partnership between Evergreen and DNR.

What’s the most important part of mountain biking? Smiling.
Well, not exactly, but as anyone who has shared a trail knows, a little politeness can go a long way. That’s why last weekend on Grand Ridge Evergreen partnered with Washington Trail Association and King County Parks for our first-ever Trail Etiquette Day.

Last Saturday Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance presented the annual Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day festival, with parents and young riders as far as Walla Walla coming to King County’s Duthie Hill Park to join in the festivities. With the perfect weather we’d expected to have close to 400 participants—however, Take a Kid wrapped up with a record 600+ participants throughout the day!

If you didn’t know better, you’d think a .75mile loop trail was no big deal. But that just means that you don’t know about the Seabrook Trail yet.
