Join Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance and the WMBC Whatcom Mountain Bike Coalition from July 11th-15th for 5 days of epic riding and camping at Kettle Crest in Colville National Forest! If you can’t join for the entire time, come for as long as works for you. Folks with kids, the campground is a great spot for the little ones to ride around.
Enjoy some of Washington’s best singletrack in a remote, alpine setting. In an annual tradition, riders from all across the region including Seattle, Spokane, Coeur d’Alene, Bellingham, and B.C. converge to hang out, experience awesome trails and give back to the area with a day devoted to trail work. Most of the rides have a healthy dose of climbing, but there are lots of great ride options, so come join us for another awesome year at Kettle Crest!
More details to follow, but we’ll plan to do one full day of trail work on Saturday, swimming in the Kettle River, swapping stories around the campfire over a cold beer and, of course, riding some epic alpine singletrack.
Please note there is no cell phone service at the campground or where we will be riding. Group rides will be leaving around 9 am each morning.
We’ll be camping at the Sherman Overlook Campground which is between the small towns of Republic and Kettle Falls, about a mile east of Sherman Pass on the north side of Highway 20. We have the whole campground reserved, so feel free to use any empty site when you arrive. Google Map of campground here.
