Good MUNI spots in Washington(state)

So, I just got my new MUNI. All I need is someplace to ride.

I'm looking for really technical trails, something that perhaps has a
lot of drops and things like that. I'm not to fond of much uphill or
much cross country, but I do like technical downhill, and I suppose I'm
willing to take the uphill required to get there.

So, any Seattle area riders know of anything of the sort?


P.S. Is there any place in the area where you can ride a chairlift up
and ride back down? That's what I did in Switzerland and it was
amazing.

where the best trails and places to ride ar at in and outside fo

little Muni trip.

Several years ago cyclists were allowed to use the chair lifts and run
the down hill routes at Snoqualmie. It was a riot. I did them with
David Maxfield to check them out before NAUCC and UNICON when they were
here last. We did a massive downhill race there. I'm not sure but I
think that they discontinued the lifts for cycles.

We haven't done any ferried MUni rides (down hill only) that I know of
at least. We do the moderately hilly runs at St Edwards Park and Big
Finn Hill Park up in Juanita. I'm sure JC would love to have someone
ride Tiger Mountain (your neck of the woods) with him sometime. He's
ridden it solo a lot. I think Tom Blackwood is fond of the Beaver Lake
trails which is also in your area.

Take a look at the 'I-5 Colonnade' (http://tinyurl.com/6mzcyf) trails
located under the I-5 freeway in Seattle near 'E Howe St'
(http://tinyurl.com/64sqes).

Fun trails there with technical trail features to play on. Small
compact area so you don't have to do long climbs.

The 'Galbraith'
(http://www.bbtc.org/wiki/index.php?t...rail:Galbraith) trails near
Bellingham. Some of the trails there have technical downhills, but
riding there requires lots of long dirt road climbs and a mix of XC.

There is an outlaw trail near Issiquah that has north shore style
features. Email me and we can plan a ride to ride there. No chair
lift. You have to earn your gravity karma.

Why hasn't it mentioned it to us, when -we- has an Issaquah address? It
deceiveses us, precious, and keepses the good trails to itself.

I think you've been there before. Harper has been there. Japanese
girls have been there.

I actually haven't ridden there in over two years. It will be
interesting to see what has changed there over that time.

I rode the chair lift up Snoqualmie Summit back in 2002 for the downhill
in Unicon, but wasn't riding at that time. For some reason they stopped
doing that even for bikes. Seems a waste of resources but I'm not the
one paying the bills.

You can always ride down Mt. Si, either side. Now THAT would be bad for
your back!

If you go about half way up Snoqualmie Parkway on the the way to the
Ridge there is an "easy" trials site that might be of interest (just
off to the left). Look for a wooden rail fence. The more interesting
area is in the trees.

Crystal Mountain has lift access. I have no idea what the
terrain/structures are like.
