Ride Leader: Taylor Paulk
Location: Green Mountain in Bremerton, WA
Overview
This is a COED ride for intermediate/advanced riders. Riders should be comfortable on blue and black trails with climbing and technical descending.
Expect wet features, softer dirt, loose rocks, chunky/rough riding, and slick woodwork — we’ll ride at a moderate pace up and fun rip down. This is not a clinic, but a fun, supportive shred session.
Focus Trails: *This route will be at least 10 miles* We will climb Tin Mine or Davis Trail, and then choose our adventure with any trail: Wildcat, some hidden moto trails, Carnivore, Gold Creek, Plumber... all contain Green Mountain GNAR
