Hi All! Just signed up after reading lots of posts and figured I'd introduce myself. I live in the Seattle area and I'm always looking to meet new folks to ride with. I'm mostly a mountain biker though I used to race on the road awhile ago. Looking forward to making a few connections and hopefully contributing to some good content along the way.

Welcome. Hope that air quality has gotten better. Who knows, maybe you’ll get that road racing bug back

The killer mountain bike trails are off the 410 before the Crystal Mt turn-off - Forest Service land. MTBers share some trails with hikers, now’s the best season with hikers declining.
Road riding with Forum members is easy, several C&V riders go regularly - modern bikes accepted.
Which city are you in?

I just sold my road bike and will probably get another one come spring.
Thanks!

Hey Wildwood! I've ridden Palisades/Ranger Creek and Suntop; all good stuff! I've been wanting to pedal the trails through Crystal mountain as well before the snow falls. Any other recommendations in that area?

Thanks!

You hit both sides of the highway.
Have you been out FS70? More cross country than strictly downhill the snowmobilers will start where the pavement at the last parking lot stops.
Ranger Creek is a tough one. I'd likely become disoriented by the steep slope.
