Was 12 degF this morning in Darrington and 6-8" of snow with a crust. I figured traction would be good but the snow was too soft still. The road had melt/freeze ice in the double track so after 2 miles in, it was too icy and downhill was...

Started real early due to a break in the convergence zone so no rain or snow when I started. The road was clear until about 2400 feet when a trace was collecting. At 2800 feet I was riding in 5 inches of wet snow and the final climb to the towe...

I noticed the last ride report was back in August and I figured I would give an update regarding the current conditions. I rode up master link to the start of OTG. I did not go to the summit because it was just too cold and too windy. The trails were...

I set out for a early morning ride in the pouring rain. While the turkey cooked I got in a ride, the trails behind the school were very muddy but rideable. I bailed on the upper loop in a clay section, knocked the wind out of myself ugh! The downhill...

Spent Black Friday outdoors climbing here before the first snows at 3000 feet cover the ridge and make it impassible. No mud. The tops of the 4000'+ peaks were dusted real pretty. I started a little late and rode the last half under lights. Toes were...

First time here. Forgot my front fender but the trails drained so well that it didn't matter. This park was great with gorgeous views of the Skagit Valley and might be even better during the Tulip Festival's fields' colors! I did Sidewinder, Huff n P...

This is such a nice area for winter rides. I went out for 1 1/2 hours or so this afternoon, and the trails I rode were in fantastic shape. Considering how much rain we've gotten, I am super impressed. I haven't been riding for several years now, and...

I rode the route FrancisL published in such great detail but opted to go in reverse. Quiet setting and trails have few roots/rocks and generally drain well. The large puddles were limited to the powerline portion. One note to add is the trail that go...

I rode Duthie from the north entrance about a week ago with my son, and found a significant amount of water over the trail leading up to the boardwalk (the boardwalk itself was fine). We were able to ride through it, but today, I found it hub-d...

Rode from the north end (through Duthie) to the Grand Ridge Drive crossing and back. Saw only a few other riders the entire way, and found very good trail conditions throughout. No sloppy mud anywhere, just a few puddles and bruises on ot...

Rode Devils Gulch up to the 4-way, then down Mission Ridge. Had been several years since I'd ridden this eastern WA classic, and it was time to hit it again.
Trails were in, well, decent shape, but there were a fair amount of deep rutted puddl...

Trails on both sides of Hwy 169 in Black Diamond in good shape despite rain.
But beware. Two out of 5 vehicles broken into and items stolen. We returned to the east side parking area about 7PM to find broken windows and missing items. Mostly dry cl...

Started in the early morning under lights and climbed to the top, across the ridge and then down to Olney Pass Kiosk, and then back to the car. Logging has pushed the road all the way across the ridge eliminating the heavy brush section to the tower....

Rode it after the recent rains, which resulted in super tacky conditions. Only a couple spots that were soft, and only a couple other ones with dust where the rain couldn't get through the dense tree cover. All-in-all, what an awesome ride! It's the...

Really cool 1.5 - 2 hour ride. There's main road entrance which is gated. You drive up to to top where the lookout, bathroom, trailmap and parking are, ride down and then take road or trails back up to the top. This ride I started at low entrance (Ea...

Rode Rat Pac and South Teanaway Loop a day after heavy rains. Get the PDF map and Avena map reader at the Roslyn bike store website (rideroslyn.com). Would have been (more) lost without it. 26.7 miles, 4100 feet elevation gain, 6 hours of ride time....
