Right before the first "roller coaster" structure there's a big paper wasp nest in a tree to the right of the trail. It's at the intersection where you can go left to skip the structure or right to ride it and add a little more trail. I got stun...

Trails are a little loose and gravelly for most of this ride, and you will definitely roll through horse poop. There is... a lot of horse poop. I'm pretty sure I was the only mountain biker in the park, which is a little different from the Saturday p...

i rode up the Palisades, and reached Noble Knob. The whole route was in excellent condition. I only remember one tree that required hiking around. And of course lots of steep switches I had to push. (This time). Coming down off the top of Noble Knob...

Had a mountain biking colleague from Sweden in town and wanted to take him someplace where he could get a sample of our backcountry riding without having to drive for 3-4 hours or camp over night. Esmeralda fit the bill. I last rode this...

Rode the Dungeness trail to Gold Creek & back starting at the old trailhead at the bottom of FS 230. You can get there with an SUV or truck with some clearance. Someone has cleared the sticks/brush so you can drive down close to the old parking...

On a cooler clear day we shuttled to the end of FS Road 6210, which is the top of Chikamin Tie and headed up 1409.1 towards Mad Lake. We stayed on 1409.1, but if you want to add some climbing and southerly views you can turn left at the first interse...

Decided to go see the slide at Oso and go up to the lookout for a little excercise. For the ride, I parked at the Whitehorse Park ball fields and then rode the 13 miles up to the lookout for the nice views. The road is paved for 2.8 miles then turns...

We rode this during one of the hottest weeks of the summer. Trail was extremely dry. Started around 11 AM and I think we saw one rider the entire day at the start, but no one on the trail. Took the first entrance on the right and t...

The trails are in very good shape except Jabulani! That trail had some major holes on the berms and different parts of the downhill. Be aware if you take off down that one!

Trail conditions were excellent for this late in the year, actually for any time in the summer. A contractor was on the Jungle Hill trail doing some brushing and had cleared all the down trees. A great time to ride it.

I usually avoid Tiger on the weekends due to the crowds, but there were certainly none Sunday night! We hit the TH (Master Link) at about 19:00 and got to the summit in time to see alpenglow on the top of Rainier and a dull blazing orange post-...

New to the area and just been exploring some trails. Flowtron was good but overgrown, OGDH and Goosechase were better. Golden spike was great not too muddy and west side trails were good too. Logging is finished on The Middle? Ending on Tokyo Drift w...

It is the year in which summer never arrived in Central Washington. Frequent rains mean these trails are in fantastic shape. The dirt is grippy right now. Rode Hippies, Burro Loco, Gunsmoke, Gnomenclature, and Frisky Donkey.

Both Ground Control and Major Tom are running great. The jump after the road on Major Tom can use a little TLC its pretty rough trying to get the speed to clear it as currently constructed. Ground control flows awesome basically no brakes needed.

We road in the Counter Clockwise direction. The trail was clear of blowdowns and snow. The road is in good shape; we drove up in a Mazda3 with no issues.
Notes on navigation: We missed the turn off onto Cooney Lake trail. It's almost a 130 degr...

Heard about the Evergreen work party that had just been out here and decided to ride it. We set out from the Big Creek Campground and headed up the service/fire roads. Took us 1.5 hrs to get to the trailhead. From there it's a pretty steep climb up t...

PVCA is not exactly local for me, but for those of you for whom it is, I hope you realize how lucky you are! I had to be in Redmond in the morning, so was able to scratch in a short ride before work. As usual, the trails and park overall...

Thanks to my good friend Pavel for the early Sunday morning invite to ride one of my favorite alpine classics. We hit the trail (rather started out on the service road) at sometime between 6:30 and 7:00, and made it back to the car in about 3:3...
