as far as i know, the trail isn't top secret, so ill def show you where it is and we can gnar it up
but it looks like its going to be sunny and cold next weekend- Eren, i'll PM you with some notice, and post back- hopefully we can get a big group together for some shuttle+pic fun
Dude that's the place where i told you that had a sweet dh run. I think I told you this last year. haha. way back then. But yeh i'd be down also, it was a fun ride there when i went with Corbin. Where is that guy anyways? He should get on RM more often.
I've lived here for over a year now. The development is insane. The retail village is coming along slowly but surely--got a coffee shop, mexican restaurant, wine bar, and subway. They are building new houses/townhomes near the park n ride. I'm trying to convince the city of issaquah to build some dirt jumps or allow us to build some. They have things for people to do who are interested in ball sports, but what about those that just want to ride their bike?? We do have the grand ridge trail, but with all the open space here, seems there should be some room for dirt jumps.
. Lots of drifty corners. There were a couple of little jump type drop things but someone took them out... I never figured out why. The trail is not secret at all and is at the top if the issaquah highlands off exit 18 on I-90. Go to the very very top- pretty much just find the roads that go uphill. You will find an open area and you take a right into a soon to be private road. Go about maybe 1/4 of a mile untill you see a bridge. RIGHT BEFORE the bride is the trail enterance and It is probly easier to shuttle the trail because you have to walk your bikes back up the highlands that you just drove up- trust me, its brutal. If anyone has any question about directions just pm me or nathan (ffonsok) because these were kind of vague as far as getting up the highlands cause I dont have all the turns and streets memorized
Geeez, so they have actually progressed. Are they building the house/townhouses on that huge strip of land outlooking the valley? Man, I really liked the view there. I miss Issy. They should make dirt jumps where that park is midway up heading toward Grandridge. If i remember right, it had sort of an incline. Or they could make it where that huge forestry used to be. I lived right infront of it. And if they cleared it up, the space would be soo huge.
