First mountain bike ride of the season not on snow (although there was plenty of snow on a long road section linking trails). Hayes Creek was dry, fast, and fun. This was a couple weeks ago, so not sure how conditions have changed.

A week ago, I joined a bunch of mountain bikers and other trail enthusiasts for a screening of “The Engine Inside” put on by Mountain Bike Missoula. There was huge energy in the room and a double dose of inspiration.

The announcement that the Forest Service may be reopening the State Line Trail is a great reminder of the power of a group of people dedicated to keeping trails open. Thanks Mountain Bike Missoula for all the work to save our favorite places to ride!

If you haven’t already, consider joining your local mtn bike/trails association. It really does make a difference. Plus, they often host fun events like this.

Are mid-summer-scaries a thing? It feels like about half-way through the riding season, I find myself feeling a little less shredy on the descents and scrubbing a little more speed going into the corners than my early-season rides. I’ve got some ideas why, but I’d like to know: does this happen to you?

Today the Snoqualmie Pass mountain bike park opened for the season. I had a great time riding the chair lifts up and the bike trails down. The soil is dry and loose, there's a lot of shale, roots and rock rolls. It's good, tricky, technical riding.

In the ’80s, We Decided Bike Helmets Make Riders Safe. Cyclists Have Paid for It Ever Since.

Some cyclists refuse to wear helmets on principle. They have their reasons.
