Collanade is cool. I can spin away on some fun stuff on lunch here in Seattle.

It also is covered so you can get your fix in during the winter and not have to hose the mud off when you are done. Cool.

Yeah, that's my understanding of it, too, it's a good "starter" area....still, I might have to bring the DH down there for a little spin.... I'm genuinely interested to see what's there. I could always use some skill building!! :awesomework:

ya you could:stirpot: :redneck:

Still worth taking a peek... :awesomework:

It shouldn't replace the bigger, knarlier stuff "out there", but it probably will.... :booo:

Even some of the smaller stuff has been torn out over the course of the summer, there was a fun little jump, wasn't hurting anyone, easy to go around, but super fun to hit..... but now the lip is knocked off...:booo:
Even little log-jams, with easy go-'rounds, gone. The bigger stuff has been gone for years, but this little, little, little stuff, well, there was no real need to rip it out.

uke:

All that said, those trails still have some flow.....:cheer:

I mostly ride my Kona Explosif! It's just got a little 3" Bomber on the front, hardtail. But it's one of the last bike frames that is handbuilt, made in America 853 Reynolds steel. ****in' trick, and I love the hell outta that thing! Mad fun!

My OTHER bike is a little red Santa Cruz Bullit, 7" of travel front and rear and a GREAT time, every time! All 45 effin' pounds of it! :awesomework:
Has been a great lead-in to .....Motodestroying! :;

Holy ****, I haven't been there in 4 years at least!! It's worth checking it out, but I've got some 4-wheelin' plans for that time slot.... :cheer: Maybe next time, though...

Just got back from my yearly XC ride

MD69,Josh (a co-worker) and myself went to Japanese Gulch.It was pretty fun...we stayed on the XC side of the gulch and rallied on some fast single track.....killer conditions!! I ate **** ten feet from the ride being over and now my leg is burning from stinging nettles...meh.

The gulch is pretty close to home, so MD and myself will be hitting it up pretty regularly(her more than me) but I'll try and get out a little.She's gonna drag her DH bike up there and hit up the freeride side.
