  • This ride is  75%  singletrack, so singletrack experience is a must.
  • IMPORTANT: When applying for leader permission, please note what bike you will be riding and list at least two singletrack trails you’ve ridden in WA in the past three months.
  • You can find details about the ride on bikepacking.com or Trailforks. However, the route posted on these site goes to Fairholme Campground, which is beyond the Log Cabin Resort. Do not let the level 3 difficulty rating lull you into thinking. that this is "easy". It's two full days of riding which includes a lot of mileage and a lot of elevation gain.
  • Camping: We'll be camping at the Log Cabin Resort and I have a group site reserved. Cost will be broken down per number of participants.

We will park at the Colville MTB Trails parking lot.
