Trails still in pretty good shape after recent rain/wind. Starting to get a little bit greasy with downed poplar leaves in some areas, but fine in all the evergreen areas, with surprisingly little standing water/mud. Rode up the forrest r...

The ride was enjoyable and challenging at times for speed. The maples and alders are shedding and covering the roots and with the rains we'll have some slippery conditions. Get a ride in soon. Hide your stuff in the trunk and out of view. There was a...

Know going in, this is a rough trail. Chewed up by motos, overgrown and extremely hazardous to bike, life and limb. One in our party ripped his derailleur off on a rock in the trail and had to carry bike out last 3 miles. Bottom hal...

Wanted to provide as much beta on this killer riding area as it was surprisingly difficult to find info on conditions, level of difficulty, best places to start etc. Of course, maybe there's a reason it's hard to find good beta ... those who ride her...

Good news is that the trails are in great shape and we saw very little mud despite the recent rains. The bad news is that two cars had windows smashed out in the parking lot, in the middle of the day, on a Tuesday. Luckily, someone pulled...
