10: fatbike night ride - pistollero lap, lumpy from hikers and clear down to rocks/roots in a few spots so a little rough even at speed

Anyone have any recommendations for riding in the Seattle and Denver areas? I'm gonna be headed those ways early this summer and I was just curious to see what there was.

For Denver, Maryland Mountain is probably the best pedal-access spot. Lots of bike-only DH trails:

Floyd Hill is pretty cool too. Mostly "bike optimized" multi-use with one bike-only DH run:

For jump parks theres Ruby Hill in Denver and Valmont in Boulder. And several smaller spots scattered throughout the area:

My favorite high-country ride is the Kenosha Pass to West Jefferson Loop. It's probably an hour and half from downtown Denver. It may or may not be fully melted out early in the summer, depends on the late season snowfall:

I also recommend a visit to Trestle Bike Park (Winter Park) or Keystone Bike Park if they're open. Avoid Trestle on the weekend unless you want to find out why locals sh*t on it.

I've only been to Seattle once and hit Tiger Mountain. I was too chicken to try Predator (Pissing rain + roots + dryland rider) but Off-the-Grid and NOTG were plenty fun:

28 -on the 20 min drive to my fav locale I cross 2 one-lane covered bridges, which is kinda cool…

If you’re out this way hit me up PM. Its worth an actual conversation by way of mobile cellular communication devices... and it is always fun to try and link up with fellow PB nerds on site...

You’re going to want to head north to Bellingham. Lots of crazy stuff near Tiger MTN closer to Seattle as well. I gotcha.
