Super blown out sand, gravel and moon dust. Lots of briars encroaching. Badly needs rain and a reset; there are spots running dry right now that I’ve never seen dry before.

I parked at the trailhead around 6:30 in the morning and started up the road to discover the current progress of the summit meadow traverse. The views were a little hazy, but take away the smoke, and the views are beautiful! The upper half of the roa...

Parked at the beginning of CCC extension, and rode it to the Middle Fork campground and back. That section is in primo condition.
Then we rode up the CCC proper towards North Bend to the first forest road crossing. The trail is a jungle with blood-t...

Great ride! No bugs. Lots of tourists walking down the southern side of the loop, none on the northway side of the loop.

Very fun trail, glad we decided to check it out. We stopped by the bike shop in town before the ride, Roslyn Rides, and the staff there gave us a cool alternative climbing route to the top of Rat Pac. First we headed north out of town, rode a couple...

Instead of starting the ride from the Salmon La Sac campground, we parked on the far end of Cooper lake, and first rode out to the Pete Lake trail. Pete lake trail was a lot of fun, although we passed many hikers on a Saturday. Next time I woul...

Norse Peak fire completely destroyed this trail from Noble Knob trail all the way to within 1/2-1 mile of the White River Junction. Trail bench is gone in most places and everything is scorched earth.

Getting there:
Take the ferry from the Seattle Fauntleroy Terminal to Southworth. Get off the ferry at Southworth. Don’t drive onto the ferry; instead, walk your bikes on with all your gear. This will only cost you $7.45. It‘s only a 3.7 mile...

All trails are dry, as expected. Dusty and loose in a few spots, but less than expected and overall fast and fun. Much cooler on the climb and summit than expected, as well. Sampled some of the new material, and I must say, job well done to the...

As part of Kettle Fest 2018, a large group of us rode the recently re-opened Upper and Lower Taylor Ridge trails. Both trails are currently clear, dry and fast! This is a phenomonal ride, I highly reccomend checking it out if you are in th...

Rode upon a large black bear on the way down after crossing the RR3 to RR2 trail. It was right on the side of the trail about 20' from where I came upon it. Ran away as soon as it heard me. A bit too close for me, so adreneline was pumping!

My first time up the Raging River trail heading up the brushy area with corners, hugging the right side of the trail as much as possible. A teenager was blazing down full speed in his full on body armor and full face helmet. Saw me the last split sec...

Did the CCW loop. Starting to get dusty in the ski area. This is an unusual ride because you are mostly by yourself on the entire climb and then hit the summit house and the gondola crowd is there. Nothing wrong with that - just be ready for th...

The area is trashed again. About three tent campers in the trails, trash piles, busted glass, who knows what else lurking under sticks and leafs. Was so sketchy we decided it's not worth the risk.

The trail is snow free and very dry. The 5 mile road to trail conversion is very rough but rideable except for a couple of downed trees. Three of the stream crossings are allready partially washed out, though still ridable. Use caut...

Rode this for the first time today, a hot day on the east side. Started from south trailhead and the Loop Trail and Winston Highway were in good shape. Bugs out in force but it was cool in the shade. Rode to the northwest and missed No Na...
