Trails are riding great and the Balsalm roots are still going strong.  Everything on the north side is riding better than ever thanks to the work of the Kittitas Chapter.  Nice work Kittitas Chapter!  The backside trails are also riding great!  Frisky Donkey is a must ride right now.  Chin Biter is starting to really ride well, what a great trail.  Gnomenclature is currently closed due to mud in the low-lying spots. Please note: due to the mild winter ticks are bad this year (worse than anyone can remember). They should be gone by late-June, but in the meantime, spraying your shoes and socks will some form of bug spray or citronella is a good idea.  These trails and the Teanaway would be a great way to avoid crowds over Memorial Day weekend.
