Sounds like a plan, let's go.

PS, I almost stopped by John's today to show him how cool my bike was on my way home from work. We'll be bike riding buddies, I'm sure of it.

Done it. I shuttled every time thereafter. Something about 4500' feet of climbing in 12 miles + avoiding everyone like me hauling butt down the trail.

There are some nice trails above Devils / mission ridge, some that lead up past the old airplane wing at Mission ridge.

Devils is nice and smooth boonie, I think you'd like it! It really takes little skill, only a small set of balls because of the drop off's. (I kid, I kid!)

Yep, right out of the bowels of Cashmere. Best thing is to have a map to the trailhead, its a tad confusing going through the backroads there.

There are a ton of other trails nearby too!

I don't think I ever did get matt to ride that even on our dual sports....only part of it on the bottom and the upper loop at the top.

I wanted to, but we just never got around to it. Too bad there's snow now. Is it closed seasonally?

xraidedj · Nov 11, 2008

no, but it is down right impossible when its so slick, we wouldn't make it a mile with out saying f....that.

Yep, wish there was a lockout on the rear shock, would make it lots easier to pedal uphill. Oh well.
