Going up Saturday.Plan on riding Galbriath, Unless i can get some locals to show me something more Challanging but not super challanging. I was going to stay at Motel 6, But not at 60 bucks a night. So i will probably leave my Place at about 5 am for the 2 hour drive up. Anyone interested in playing guide or just wanting to ride. Let me know and i will PM you my cell number. I am going to do this ride rain or shine.

You don't have to do the motel anyways. You can be there in about an hour it's hardly a road trip since it's a straight shot on I-5.
Galby actually sounds fun, if it stays dry i might wanna get out there this weekend too since my Greenwater shuttle plans are toast.

Let me know if your want to go. I can meet you somewhere north to cruise up. It is easier for me to do the 167-405 to I5 route.

i sure will, i'll watch the weather, this is the time of year i want to do Galby dry or just head out to the other side of the mountains and get some killer dry singletrack out there.

galby is really fun nothing super challenging (except that 1 spine branch that thing was kinda funky) but everything is very doable. I dont suggest a full on downhill bike my .243 and enduro ran perfectly up there.

I have not been up there since Jan. 2003, So i am going to ride no matter what.

I was just riding there yesterday. It was wet, but moderately fun still. If I was you, I'd push all the way to the towers (take a right past blue-rock and keep going up), ride Scorpion, then go ride Bob's. Its a lot of pushing, and Scorpion is pretty wet (I bet Bob's is too) - but its pretty fun and mellow.

Sorta lame on a 9" bike though. Heh.

The Towers is the only side i know. It will be fun

This is getting better, I don't have to take my Cowan up, I am getting to demo a Coiler. This should be a much better climb to the towers.

If you want to go on a long ride let me know.

 

[KNine]

Yeah i want to be up there at least 4-6 hours. No real hammering, just some good riding.

What does that mean? So you'll be parking on which side of the mountain? The best side for long rides is to start by going up ridge, cedar dust (has some good stunts on it now), death climb, up to towers, down wonderland, naughtie nellie, keystone, oly, then there are a few choices depending on time and where you want to go before going back down family fun to the top of ridge again. Should take about 4 hours depending on how fast you are. I can do that ride in much less than that, maybe about 3. But groups move slower. Let me know what's up.

 

[KNine]

Well i am not fastest rider nor the best climber. Most time i have done the ride, we have taken the fire road up to the towers and worked our way down. I think once or twice i have ridden some of the lower trails. As for time it really does not matter how long the ride is. I have not been there in 2 1/2 so i want to enjoy it. I am going to try and be in Bellingham no later then 8am. Saturday

 

[dwaugh]

I'll have to see if I work on saturday and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. You dont have to be a great climber, just have a lot of energy to last a long time.

 

[KNine]

Cool, please let me know. Regardless i am doing this ride, even if i do it solo.
