I've an itch to go exploring around B'ham. Never mtb'd up there, so I wonder if anyone knows about the maps available through www.galbraithmt.com Are there any...
You can pick up a Local Knowledge map of Galbraith at any of the B'ham bike shops. I got one from the shop in Fairhaven for 6 bucks. You can also find...
Wow. Cool music, everything was put together perfectly. He is amazing, is this an edited film, did he really do this????? ! It's so hard to believe someone...
Was up the Fawn Ridge ride today -- couple of tiny snow covered road sections (50-100 feet) and all clear coming down. At the junction(road to trail) I went up...

I just wonder who dumbed down the Wired Brain crux in Banner Forest by sawing the tree!~ Just as I was consistently getting it, now it's just easy uphill....
Yeah, it's real. I used to live in the same semi-small town as Dave Mirra and a host of other X-Games champions, and what I saw them do on the ramps at the...

That sucks! What's next, that new trail by San Fransisco and the one off of Bonzer? Don't think there's anything we can do about it. It's hard to belive...
Since some have already asked and I only want to write it once, here you go. The ride leader by default report. May trippers, take notes... :) Frank, Tim, and...

I have a rant about horses as well. I have been riding the new trails up on grand ridge and a couple of weeks ago some horses went down the newest section of...
*stepping up on the soapbox* Unfortunately, trails hand-built by volunteers, unlike those machine-packed ones you see in FS lands, don't hold up agaist the...
FYI: Today's Seattle Times (Local Section, Eastside Edition) has a lengthy article about the history of the Middle Fork road, the direction the area is headed...

"settle down"....Like "Bridle Trails" park, where the damage can't be blamed on Mtn bikes? Thats just an off the top of my head "fer instance" of horse...

I just want to give a little credit to the horse people. I rode at Pilchuck/Victoria Tract yesterday-it was opening day. I noticed there were "NO" horse tracks...
Back-Country Horsemen. I'm sure there's a chapter in everybodies neighborhood. If you have an irk with horses on trails....contact them, I'm sure they'll be...
There's bad apples (pun, if ya know what I mean) in every bunch. I have been pro-horse for quite some time, having come from a "horsey" background, but Sunday...
Elk carrying saws, with horseshoes on?? Sorry Marie, good point to contact them. I agree with you that I don't think they're conscious of what they're doing....
Marie, I appreciate your suggestion re. contacting the BCH and establishing a dialogue to raise awareness etc. I do not agree with the statement about elk...
If someone is able to get in touch w/ the BCH and have them spread the word, maybe they (BCH) could also raise the awareness of horse riders out at Gold Creek...
I particularly enjoyed seeing a horse trailer with the saying "LEAVE NO TRACE" stenciled on the side. It was for a business conducting backcountry horse...

I second what Bob says. I've been riding since the pre-suspension era and in Marin Phoenix I rode trails that literally went right through the middle of horse...
Again, its about education of the horse riders. When they say "Leave No Trace" they're typically just talking about trash or if they're being really ...
This is an interesting thread, I read these messages going back and forth and I wonder when we're all going to learn to get along...Not too many years ago I...
Just a bit of added detail... I took Igor and Preston for a nice tour of the best trails in the mountain and we bumped into some of the trail builders who've...
