I hit Taneum Ridge a couple of times this week. The trail has dried out nicely. If you are not familiar with the trail it can be done as a loop ride, either taking the low road, which is still muddy or the regular road which adds 1.6 miles to you ride plus some up and down. A shuttle can also be done. The net elevation gain is 1400 feet including a nice little technical climb on the trail. This trail has a very nice flow with a lot of nice curves, especially the lower half.

Anyway I plan on hitting it a couple more times this week. The weather over here for the next week will be great. If your interested send me a pm and maybe we can hook up.

We are thinking about rollin' out your way tomorrow, want to ride? Ratpac, maybe Tanem, really want to ride Tres...

I rode Taneum again today, all by myself of course. I must be getting better because I nailed the lower part in slightly less than 13 minutes. I dont know where Tres is except near Leavenworth. Maybe if you know the secret password you get to find out where it is from the guys at Das Radhaus. I talked to some Dhers at Rat Pac they said you could shuttle Freund Canyon, never new that, but they said you need four wheel drive. Anyway send me a PM and let me know where you will be, also if you need help with a shuttle either here or Taneum. I am totally an xcer but let me know Rat Pac is in my back yard.

So, did I ever mention to you that you're a tease? Well, you are!

As many times as I have been up there I have yet to run Fishhook Flats. I have ran the "low road" a couple of times and compared my times with the main road and found the low road might save three minutes. I have found the Taneum Ridge is pretty decent for some long sustained downhills where you can work on riding technique. Its a little rocky though, I tore a tire up this week. It would probably be a little hard on your leg. I am still looking for some more RM's on the trail. So far its Borneo, Rhino and Megan Black.

Yeah in all my overheated exhausted glory.

Is it dry and dusty in Cle Elum like it was in Winthrop last weekend?

No, we must have had a lot more rain here than Winthrop. The trails are dry but not dusty like they were. In fact Taneum Ridge trail was packed down real nice by the motos, pretty close to perfect trail riding. Its nice how those wide tires can really pack the mud down smoothly. The only place that still has some mud is the "lowroad" out at Taneum. I am heading to Winthrop this weekend for the last xc race.
