Bikepack - Cle Elum Ridge—Teanaway Ridge

This is a mountain bike singletrack bikepacking trip.  A mountain bike with flat bars and experience riding blue singletrack mountain bike trails (with loaded bikes) are requirements.  When asking for leader permission, please state what bike you will be riding and your experience riding  blue singletrack mountain bike trails in the Seattle/surrounding area. For details about ride ratings/difficulty level, see here.

This is roughly a 20 mi loop with a little over 3000' ft of elevation gain in the Teanaway area with a start and end in Roslyn. We will ride up to the Teanaway ridge via singletrack mountain bike trails (Ewok) and descend to the West Fork of the Teanaway via upper BST descending to lower BST. We'll do it as an out and back with an optional afternoon exploration ride in the area riding on some of the big rocks. This ride coincides with the beginning of the high route of the XWA route.

See Roslyn Urban Forest trail map of area here.

We will disperse camp in the Teanaway Campground area which has free camping, an outhouse and a water source (Teanaway River) -- bring your water filter.

The next day we will ride back to Roslyn via  blue downhill trails (Beer can and likely Neverland) back to Roslyn. We'll likely enjoy food and beverages at Basecamp or The Brick after the ride for those who have time.

A detailed planning email will be sent to registered participants a week ahead.
