It's a beautiful area that while used, we know well to be full of routes and spots. Suiattle is up thataways. Some of us ride tires named after passes out there. Some folks went last weekend and it looked dope.

Sarah and I are going for an overnight this weekend if anyone wants to join us. Gravel, camping, 2 60 mile days with a car shuttle.

Ya'll need to memorize the Mountain Loop Highway theme song at the beginning of this podcast and sing it on the way there:

Also keep an eye out for the Snohomish County Sasquatch Association meeting at the Green Gables General Store. We were lucky enough to witness this group of approximately 7 members gather on the front porch and discuss bigfoot as they welcomed a new member.

this was an awesome trip that I encourage those of you with fat tires and strong legs to tackle. Best while it's still dry, the Mtn Loop Hwy will be a muddy shithole as soon as rains start up again.

That was badass and now I hurt. Thanks for putting up with me all weekend.
Mega props to Fred and Squirrel for adding 60 miles to the beginning and end of that ride.
A+++ would suffer again
