Riverside state park has a camp ground - shower and lotsa XC trails too. Mt. Spokane camping is right next to the road ( ick) or there's the commerical jellystone campground out near the airport.

that rain didn't matter one bit. it was still dry as hell. I'm glad they fixed the berms up there, but I don't like the dumbing down of the rock roll before the jumps into the berm to berm.

I had a good practice run though, I can't wait for the race.

Riverside is the other side of town ( west, right next to down town) so it's about 15- minutes w/no traffic to Beacon. It's really pretty there right now.:monkeydance:

i know the roller into the berms was gnar when you came into it hauling- bottoming to the freakin ground but the step up seemed really solid to me

the step up was kind of fixed. but the dirt was so dry most of it crubled off anyways.

the rock roll was smoothed out at the bottom, but once again it was really dry dirt and a lot of it was ridden away towards the end of the day.

Liberty would be better for dog-swimming, Spokane River is still running pretty good and it would be sad for the pooch to take an unintended run through the rapids....

GEARGRL/MINOR.....Can you get to Liberty and grab me a spot late Friday? I'll pay you back. Its a 1st come 1st served place so I'm alittle worried about it filling up.

i'm pretty sure that rock roll gave me a flat spot on my back rim, so i can't say i'll miss the gnarness. its not like it was hard before, it just felt like crap.

I kinda have my hands full right now with race stuff but I'll try to at least make some calls tomorrow and see what it'll take to hold a spot. Will you be tenting? Really, this early I don't think there's a big danger of Liberty Lake filling. It's lesser known as a camping destination (but a perfectly pleasant spot).
