on second thought. youre right. having that kind of attitude is expensive and you cant afford whistler. Enjoy the schwaggy Issaquah hotel and Duthie laps!

Right, there is no way to dirtbag whistler for 3 days. And summer makes it even harder?

take a 3 day weekend in Early summer, drive to whistler and lap crankitup, cmor, and Aline. in that order. No other trails. from open to close. Maybe throw in a freight train lap or two on day 3...

Take his posts with a grain of salt.

Tokul seems up your alley.

Im not a huge fan of super fast flow/jump trails unless they are wide like at bike parks. I though Side Hustle was running great last weekend even with the rain...

Fine line between playing it safe, and being dangerously tentative. The struggle *will be* real.

thanks! the plan is to get him mobile and on a pushbike/skis ASAP so that family time gets spent at the mountain/in the woods and mom/dad can take turns shredding vs...

Rides in sloppy conditions on newly opened trails, complains about brake bumps and ruts and thrashed trails, and doesnt throw dirt himself. This would describe the vast majority of MTBers in the...

Or, do what the builders have requested over various media including TF and stay off it during and immediately following large precip events. Like the one we are currently experiencing.

Mostly just educated guessing based on experience and following this FB page (this and Lokuls Only are the only FB pages i ever look at). https://www.facebook.com/groups/tigerragingrivermtb/

The Summit-Iverson trail is DNR built and i believe a machine built blue flow trail. As of a couple weeks ago there were a few bridges left to install. With the burn ban in effect most/all machine...

DNR built the new Northwest Timber Bypass, and built the new summit-to-iverson descent that should be opened this fall. Evergreen built the 3 new trails off/to Preston. DNR and EMBA work hand in...

It's a crazy popular high speed flowtrail. It gets babybutt smooth after maintenance in the fall, and again in the spring. Then we have 3 months of drought and 10,000 riders hammering the trail....

Canyon creek... is more than a year old now. It's agile trail building where you dont strip out organics in the tread and replace with mineral dirt, instead they let the trail get ridden in (more...

Worth it to buy a day ticket to timberlines bike park? I have a couple hours to kill before my SILs wedding. Rode ski bowl today and had fun, but it's a pretty limited selection of fun stuff there.

Took my dog and my SILs dog (first timer) for a ride a couple weekends back. With the upcoming heatwave it might be time to say goodbye to hero dirt and say hello to dusty blownout trail season.

...

CDA is where you want to be. Sandpoint and Kellog are easy drives, also close to spocompton for Beacon Hill trails.

The closure isnt for the full two years, its just that the harvest could happen any time in that period- they move quick once they start and the priority will be to protect the trails in the area......

Blue flow/jump trail. Think upper poppin tops but tighter and steeper with more closely spaced features.

Double black and then black raw NOTG type trails. Was total rake and ride loamer with only...

New stuff at Tiger is open to ride, though not on the maps yet. Weather and dirt couldnt have been much better on Saturday, and looks like this week will continue the trend. Hot damn.

Physical Therapy and CCDH are "soft opened", meaning the public has the builders blessing to ride them, but they aren't signed and officially signed off on by DNR yet. Follow the tiger/raging river...

That Northern Mountain sure is running good. Im loving this cycle of 6 days of sun per week, with a quick 12 hours of light rain to tack everything back up once a week. Dirt is phenominal- wet...

Was riding lifts in whistler with my GF this past weekend and a guy from the Bay Area hops on with us and starts chatting about how great the MTB is there, especially Oakland, and how he was thinking...

Went for more of a backcountry-esque ride this past weekend and caught the weather and view just perfect. View from the top of Alpine Baldy.

Took the dog along. I wanted to hike...

Day 2, Stage 2 hot damn. Sounds like some seriously big days in the saddle, but man, the views and trails sound so freaking awesome.

Careful, Oregon is one of 11 states where a random person can bust in your window if they even suspect your dog is in discomfort from heat. Lots of recreationally offended super citizens out there. ...

Not all :). Though the flow is not what it was. Also it's a crazy popular spot, but if you don't know exactly where, you're def not finding it, so I don't feel bad about saying it's VERY general...

Where were you fine folks riding?

Bellingham area. The 410 trails. Squamish. Whistler.


What do you like riding? Compact trail networks? Backcountry epics? Jump lines and berms? Steep gnarly DH trails?

Depends what "trail bike". In pretty much all bike parks you would rather ride a DH bike.

The loam trails in the greater Bham area have been treated very well by the constant refresh of moisture....
