Grand Ridge: Ten years to the day of Issaquah mountain biking. Facebook alerted me to the fact that it was ten years ago that I did my first Issaquah mountain bike ride at Grand Ridge. At the time, I was riding my road bikes around 10,000 miles a year. I would never have believed that I was destined to ride over 1000 times at Grand Ridge and Duthie, close to that at Soaring Eagle, 160 times at Olallie and 75 times at Raging River since these areas opened a few years ago, and 50+ times at Tiger Mountain. It seemed unfair that I had to cut my anniversary ride short today due to a broken RD spring, preventing me from shifting and forcing me to coast most of the time.
