Backcountry Bicycle Trails Club (BBTC) is pleased to announce that we
have received $150,000 in grants from King County to build a new
mountain bike skills course at Duthie Hill Park on the Sammamish
Plateau. Design work on the course will start in January, which will
include input from both the local riding community and the neighbors
surrounding the park. Groundbreaking is scheduled for summer 2008.
This new 120 acre mountain bike course will have something for
everyone. There will be a range of new trails and technical features,
dirt jumps, a pump track and a cross country race loop. In addition,
the new trails will create access to already existing trails at Grand
Ridge. This park will be another first of its kind designed and built
by BBTC. This park will become the hub for mountain biking races and
events in Western Washington.
Duthie Hill Park represents the newest trend in mountain biking--
skills parks close to communities where kids and families of all
abilities can ride. Following BBTC's success with the Colonnade
Skills Park in Seattle, we now have Duthie Hill. Soon we hope to have
parks like these in every community in Washington State.
