Rode this with a buddy of mine who's been dragging me to ride on the peninsula for a while. Whoa, just learned what I've been missing out on! This trail is pure wilderness and yet you'll get close to a couple parking lots/trail heads about mid-way sh...

Only a little dry in some places. Importantly, the ridiculously steep temporary reroute is now gone and the new reroute looks and rides awesome! All the big blowdowns in trecherous sections are gone as well. The trail looks really good!

The SVT is now closed at 356th. I assume it is also closed off of Tokul Rd.

Group of 6 of us did Summit to OTG and then Predator yesterday, on a glorious fall day in the PNW. This was the first time I've been to Tiger since before the CDC Enduro, so I was curious to see how the trails were holding up. Obviously I'm not sur...

Returned to Cherry Valley for the first time since the last school year ended. Great to be back, and conditions did not disappoint! Totally clear everywhere - no blowdown, and every single creek crossing was bone dry, except for the big o...

Tried out both Tokul East & Tokul West in the last week. The East seems to be a bit desolute and the tracks are in need of repair. The west on the other hand had great trails! Tokyo drift / the jumps is a lot of fun and not so xc as the description w...

Short story:
Trail is in good shape except for the washout described in other reports. Washout isn't bad - about 100 feet total and you will have to carry your bike over one log then under another and climb up a steep bank(see photo). Di...

Looks like all the logging is finished and this gated road is once again open for riding. Lots of new clearcuts to look at.

Enjoy.

Recent rains followed by mild, fair weather have made the tread conditions ideal. Very fast, very grippy, very pretty. One blowdown on the trail between MP 17 and MP 18. Could be taken out with a hand saw - I deserve the criticism f...

The occasional light rain made the rocks/roots a little trickier than they probably normally are, but the trail was still basically dry. Looks like there is some erosion due to horses collapsing the edge of the trail in some of the narrow side-...

Decided to see what all the hype was about on the new Predator DH trail. Seemed like a great day - midweek, been dry for a couple days, clear weather - and just before it gets mugged by the Enduro this upcoming Saturday.
Warmed up from Summit...

First off, I want to extend a huge thanks and gratitude for everyone who has worked on the trails above 300th. It was as if they had been leaf-raked clear of all the debris that adorned the trails post-windstorm, which was confirmed by the friendly n...

The trails were in great shape today. I rode last Monday just after the rains and everything was super slick with all of the roots, but today it had dried out and was perfect. Add to it, there were only about 6 other bikers in the area made for a gre...

A late summer storm put a few inches of snow on the the ridge so fire danger was low. Went up 4th of July and down the ridge to town. 2" of snow on the top 1000' of the ridge, but everything was rideable.
The climb is a grunt, but...

I went on the Temple loop trail and the main trail from the parking area. Mostly dry with some puddles. There are a lot of small branches down from the wind. If you haven't ridden here before there is a section of the Main trail going to t...

This was my very first time at Japanese Gulch. I will definitely go back and ride it again.
I can only say, I just wasn't thinking this morning. Big wind storm yesterday, a trail that meanders through the woods.......guess what? Lots of...
