no :evil:
i wanna do that "secret" ride there one more time before spring melts off all the snow and i spend all my time up in the Cascades. Make it happen D. 
we meet at the middle waddel event parking lot at 9am. It's the $5 shuttle that the Peak bike shop runs. We're doing the quickest trail down so we'll be done pretty early.
Mitz, i'd save this one for a time when we can get the whole team together. They will run the shuttles if we pre arrange it off schedule...meaning not at 9am, and maybe more than once.... 99% of the seattle people i know dont like to get up that early to be down here in time.Mitzel123 said:

One of these days my bike isnt going to be giving me shiit and I will do this ride. I need a new cassete and derailleur. I have been glad to be back at the course at my place with the weather finally cooperating.
Ya D. Kevin and I want to do the 'non' secret ride out there againoly said:
Come on, make it happen :devil:
Have you guys heard anything if Peak is going to do the Over the Top Race again?. It was arguabley the most difficult mountain bike race in the state which attracted a very thin race crowd but some of the best riders. I rode my HT up and downSR said:
The downhill definitely calls out for a plush ride.
I think they still plan the races.... i know that they were working in the forest to build brownie points with the DNR....Borregokid said:Have you guys heard anything if Peak is going to do the Over the Top Race again?.

doh, saw this too late, maybe next time
We were going to hit the 16 mile trail Sunday...forget what it's called...then realized it was pretty wet still. Lots and lots of puddles/soupfest with the clay dirt. So, we cut out about 1/3 into it and hit the moto trail the rest of the way down. It was fun, but can't wait to go when it's dryer out. Plus, I was hoping to get a longer xc ride in. Oh well. 
Peak to Creak is always fun!

Must me an 'age' thing.I guess I'll get up and go for a ride this morning
was good times! almost perfect dirt... still a few puddles, but overall had dried well. The motor crew had also done some trail work to drain the bad spots.
too bad it wasnt so good for your ride.... you guys need to join us when we do the peak to porter ride some time this summmer.... hopefully before it gets too dry/hot out.

Yeah,oly said:
We still had fun...Our bikes were soooooo muddy! It isn't easy to get the clay mud off either
I would really like to hit the moto trail on a dry day...There are some sweet burms you can rail...However, I had to focus on staying out of the ruts since the mud just sucked me down into them! Having almost super slicks on my xc bike didn't help matters! :angry:
weird.... our trail was almost perfect...... guess we were on the steeper side so the water drains faster....
Muddddddy today
