Trail work

Mount St Helens - Gifford Pinchot Trail work

Submitted Mon, 05/23/2011 - 5:01pm by DAnderson

No trail work parties are currently scheduled for the Mount St Helens area until Helens Fest II - ( 8-10 July ), when our Saturday will be devoted to working on several projects.  The Forest Service has been working on the Lewis River Trail and I expect that trail to be in pretty darn good condition.  The Siouxon Trail has received attention this year from several of us and is also in good condition. 


Because of lingering snow pack we do not yet know what condition the trails are in.  During the last two weekends of June I will be making several trips up to the mountain on exploratory rides and may do some light work on those rides as well.

Sandy Ridge Trail Care 3/12

Submitted Tue, 03/08/2011 - 2:14pm by juliek

This coming Saturday, March 12th, I'm planning to get dirty with some trail work followed by some riding at Sandy Ridge. I do not currently have a car, so if you are also going out there, and would like company and gas money, let me know! You can reach me at juliek@nw-trail.org

Thanks!

New Belgium hits the trails!

Recently, I had the honor and pleasure to spending some time with David Anderson and Amy Singmaster on the Smith Creek Trail near Mount Saint Helens.  Brian Bogan and I traveled out from Fort Collins CO early for our Portland Tour de Fat (this Saturday, August 14, in Waterfront Park) to soak up the scenery and enjoy the company of our friends from the Northwest Trail Alliance.  The NWTA will be benefiting from the Parade and will be benefiting from the Merchandise and Do-It-Yourself Booths.
 
I had been tentative to commit to such an adventure.  I am much more of a utilitarian bicyclist, I commute almost daily and on the other days I walk.  But getting on a mountain bike and riding singletrack with locals is a little daunting when you are not much of a mountain bike rider.  Don’t get me wrong, I love to ride-but I have been working for a brewery for over 8 years, let’s just say I’m really good at 12oz curls.  Bogan, on the other hand, can shred with the best of them-so he was psyched.

THANKS TO TRAIL BUILDERS

Submitted Sun, 03/14/2010 - 5:11pm by jarredjackman

I'm sure this is just another boring post to most, but I thought it seemed noteworthy.  I just rode Siouxon and noticed that Jerry D cut out a bunch of pretty difficult to cut logs, now that entire area (above the junction of the Upper Trail and the Lower Trail that heads over the bridge to Chinook) that was a complete pain to get around is perfect singletrack!  Thanks Jerry, you do an amazing job with that trail!  Thanks to all who help with trails but special props to Jerry for keeping one of SW Washington's gems in top form.  He's also reworked some tread in especially difficult creek crossings and landslide prone dips.  Great day to enjoy the riding we have in our backyards!!!
