The trails were covered in leaves and we couldn't see any roots! We had a wonderful time. Since it was nearly noon when we finished two hours of riding, we barbecued hot dogs. Such a great way to meet people and enjoy the fall weather.

A tree is down along the Secret Squirrel trail. It's only 1 to 2 feet off the ground.

Plenty of wet leaves, wet rocks, wet roots and hero dirt if your tires can get through the leaves. I caught a break in the rains this morning and went up the lower shuttle road to go down Lower Showcase. Showcase is hard enough as it is, but add wet...

Rode the reptile loop (Stinger, Viper, Python, Anaconda, Iron Brigage). Also rode Once Upon a time, derailleur and Upper Beaver Trax. There are two blowdowns to note, one 4" Dia across Derallieur and one 12" dia across UB Trax. Saw...

Took my coworker to the park for his first time here and gave him a tour of the good stuff. The recent rains were soaked up well and the trails were all hero. We went up to the towers and down on the Springboards, back up for Wishbone, Goldeney...

First time at Galby, and let me tell you this place is for real. World class trails, well marked and maintained and easy access from Bellingham. We rode Huff n Puff up, and then crushed Evolution and Unemployment Line down. Both are poppy, with wood...

Corral Pass - Deep Creek Loop
I began this ride early in the morning at the junction of the White River Trail and Corral Pass Road. I started the climb and saw a couple cars and trucks going up early too. A little later on, I came upon a pickup and...

Pouring rain at 8:00 AM in the lower lot, and massive puddles with multiple riders poking their heads out before deciding to head home. Your author was undeterred though, as I had to test my new Endura MT pants. I rode Master and Quick Link to the to...

I have never shuttled Chuckanut (up at Larrabee State Park) so I paid for the three ride shuttle ticket and went with a bunch other friends and we had a wonderful time. We got to the top and came down Double Black Diamond and Double Down. We di...

Thank you again for the continued trail maintenance. This time Stinger and Viper have a 5' nuking with the track blown off as well. The Anaconda clearing work from last week was finished as well with a nice blow off, no thorns on the trac...

I sat worried about the muddy single track we have now and figured a long double track ride could be done until the trails dry out. I've been watching the fronts go by, dumping hail, and rain, along Highway 2 for the last couple of days and I tried t...

It was a comfortable cool morning when I left the shuttle area at 7 AM to climb to the summit and come down the Out of the Blue trail. It was in good shape and had good traction most of the way down. Then I went back up and did Lower Showcase Showdow...

Thank you to whomever nuked Anaconda and Iron Brigade with a nice 6' swath of brushing. Unfortunately, the way it was done, there are now berry stalks and thorns crossing all over the trail so others watch for the thick ones. In the...

Spent the afternoon climbing to the top of the trail and enjoyed the colorful fall colors in the Baldy Meadow. The last time I was here was when I reported the avalanche debris down the Meadow drainage at the end of May. Now the trail is all clear wi...

I had a need today to get rid of the weekdays' frustrations and what better way than to take it out on the pedals and ravage the roots with a lot of climbing and a lot of technical descents. So I went to Raging River to do the lollipop, with People's...

Went up to the summit on this ride with my e-bike buddy and kept up as best I could. The vertical really drained his battery so he needed to turn around at the third viewpoint. I continued on to the summit and came back down. The trail is in great sh...

Rode to Monte Cristo on a sunny Saturday. Arrived to a packed TH at Barlow Pass at 8:30am. Parked about 1/4 mile from the parking lot along the road. We chose to ride in on the main trail, but if I were to do it again, I would ride...

Today I had one goal in mind: Make it down Lower Showcase Showdown without a stop, or tentative hesitation. At 58, and out there alone, I get pretty cautious and walk one or two drops on this lower half of the Showdown. Today I was going to just keep...

Had a fun morning with friends riding Boyz, Quarrible, Rocket88, Mukraker and was impressed with the hero dirt since we had the rain yesterday. It was a great time and this place is really becoming a great system for all skill levels. Come session se...

Still very dry, lots of loose rocks on the climbs, but no downed trees or anything. Good etiquette from MTBers and hikers alike. Riders were a good mix of full-lycra doing their XC training, rippers using it to get to Duthie, and some OGs having a go...
