Bikepack - Cle Elum Ridge—Teanaway Ridge

TBD. Likely around  10 AM in Roslyn.

**Open to Bikepacking Course graduates only,  NOT current students, sorry.

This is a Mountain Bike oriented bikepacking trip.  Experience riding BLUE single-track mountain bike trails (with loaded bikes) required.  When asking permission, please state your experience riding  blue singletrack mountain bike trails.

This is a 30 mi loop with 2600 ft of elevation gain (aproximately) in the Teanaway with 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 a steep singletrack mountain bike trail. 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 dispersed camp in the Teanaway Campground area. Additional riding after setting camp possible if desired.

The next day we will ride to Cle Elum on the West Fork Teanaway Road, Teanaway Road, Red Bridge Road and Airport Road to Cle Elum (all paved but not busy roads) and finally  from Cle Elum to Roslyn via the Coal Mine trail.  Additional riding (without bikepacking gear) in the Roslyn Urban Forest) possible after returning if desired. Or we may just go get burger and beers at Basecamp. :-)

A  detailed planning email will be sent to registered participants mid-week.
