He doesn't. That was all a lie. I believe he has a Mitsubishi Outlander? Something like that. Or maybe that's his brothers. All Canadians look the same…
Heh. It’s an Endeavour. Burns lots of gas. We shuttled. The footprint was significant. Buddy has an F150.

Mmike has a Jeep. I am not familiar with Outlanders. So I will defer. Only their women look the same.

I joined up with SWMMBA and MT Backcountry Horsemen for the 13th Annual Lionhead Trail work weekend.

Horses carry chainsaws to the top of Mile Creek CDT and then fat bikers cut and move the downed trees.

Some 60 miles of trail (every inch of trail in the Lionhead) and many tasty microbrews were cleared...

I opted for my favorite regular (non-epic) ride the out and back to Sheep Lake after shuttling the one group not benefitting from horsepower...

I can almost feel the bears watching you on those pics.
I slow way down when there are berries, I keep eating. Then I think that maybe bears have the same idea. This would be an epic buffet for a bear.

No riding pics, but the sunset after tonights ride was spectacular. For how rainy and gloomy it was earlier, the day turned out pretty great.

Its always interesting seeing this and rides from other areas. You've done not much more distance that I have this month, but you absolutely destroy the elevation gain. :rofl:

Even more telling is that you've done almost double the amount of rides with that distance and elevation.

Heh, yeah. Straight up and straight down. Creaky CSU-land!

Where's this? Doesn't look much like Yakistan area (I lived in Ellensburg for a few years).
That is on Mt St Helens! Last Saturday we parked at Lower Smith Creek and rode up Ape and the Plains to Windy Ridge and back down Smith Creek for 28 miles and 4500ft vert. Was amazing wildflowers...

Enderpo race today. Got 8th or 9th. After the race went on the other side of the valley and hit some old-school DH.

And it may look dark, but temps about 65-70, no rain, pretty much perfect with no sun beating down and not too hot or cold.

Humidity?
Pretty high for around here. Doesn't stack up against "the South", but riding up you get soaked through with sweat pretty fast. The 90s we had a few weeks ago felt like over 100 with the sun angle through. That was brutal.
