I was wondering what the total # of members we have right now is? I have been a member for two years but a participant for many more. Seems like we may have a...

Don't want to sound like a downer. But, it's been hovering between 480-540 for the past 5-6 years that I can tell. With no significant increase in membership. ...
A good friend and colleague of mine is giving a talk on biking injuries and wound care to the folks at the Olympic Training Center in CO, and needs pics of...

Initially, I thought this was an awesome idea and was ready to dive right into it. Color code some routes with some sort of markers at Tolt. Say, a 6, 8, and...
Bob, As a guy who is sort of unfamiliar with the trails at Tolt, yet led a ride there yesterday I have some thoughts. Before yesterday I had been to Tolt 3-4...
Hmmm, 1) It might be fun for those that are new to Tolt or don't know maps exist of the area and ride the same loop of trails each time. 2) Might be a good way...
Wow - right back at ya - Apparently the whole unobtrusive thing is working quite well and I need to start looking a bit harder and see what I can find. Now I...
Hey there! I am new to the group and anticipate going on some rides soon. Soon as I get my ride dialed in. It is a 99 ....aformentioned. Is there anyone...
Well, My 2 cents worth kinda agrees with both Erics' I like the way beaver is marked with the larger more visible signs, but those are very labor intensive...

FYI, Cascade Bicycle Club currently has ~5,600 members. We've instituted a more consistent renewal and direct mail appeal to event participants that has...
Bob, thanks for the setup, now lets see if we can hit this one out of the park... You're right, our membership hovers in the 400's to 500's, depending on when...
After we color code the trails and put signs up we could install a chair lift with a Starbucks up top. As you can see, I am against it. I like to follow my...

Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. The only problem I see is perhaps the unattended consequence of moving to many bikers onto to few trails. Of course, I bet...
Count me as one opinion against taping, sticking, hanging, nailing, or otherwise bringing extra crap into the woods. Wood signs are better than metal, and...
Dude so hardKORE !!! And here I haven't even been riding for a month. Offseason is in full swing. IMpressive attempt, although you should have called me I...
Bob, I have a couple of immediate thoughts. If the purpose of this project is to make Tolt more ride-able for those that are direction challenged I have some...
I'd much rather have a pub on Tour de Stump. A little oatmeal stout and some grilled chicken in the middle of the ride wouldn't be a bad idea at all, eh....
This is similar to what was faced in the Phil's complex in Bend, Oregon where the network of trails (though, bigger and better) is confusing and often...

I think their can still be some riding on the east slopes below 3500 feet for the next month-maybe. Two years ago after getting real cold in November it...

Yes, number coding the junctions to corresponding numbers on the maps is a very good way of signing. As at Bend. The Victoria Tract also uses this method...
Somehow I missed that back in 2002, King County acquired the development rights to the Port Blakely treefarm at Tolt. That means Port Blakely still owns the...
