Grand Ridge-WT-Soaring Eagle 2x "I need a photo for a school project to prove I am walking outdoors with a parent" Has it really come to this? After I took their photo by the Soaring Eagle TH sign, the mother and her 12 year old son took a 50' round trip walk on the dirt road that leads to the trails in the park. I guess that was to make them feel honest. As I watched them walk home up a neighborhood street, I was happy that at least they had not driven to the TH.

MTB 2:33:00 [3] 22.5 mi (8.8 mph) +2749ft

Grand Ridge RT-Water Tower Loop: great new "beginner" trail on Grand Ridge. The WT Loop is now officially open. As opposed to the rest of GR climbs (which vary from "quite steep" to "really, really steep"), the grade on WT is consistently mellow. King County Parks designed the trail to use as much of the available land as possible, and that means the trail twists and turns. WT is where I will go if I am giving a lesson to a neophyte MTB rider (including Tracy if she decides to learn), or anyone who wants to work on cornering.

Grand Ridge RT-Duthie Frozen trails are fun, but the cold sucks the energy right out of me. I was totally comfortable, but mid 20 temps made a three hour ride feel much longer.

Grand Ridge Round Trip-WT Thank you WTA, King County Parks, and Evergreen MTB...I stopped to take a couple of videos of the work crews finishing up the new Water Tower Loop Trail at Grand Ridge. I'm sending it to them for their websites.

Sycamore-Park Pointe-Creekside with Tracy. I wasn't that motivated to ride in the cold, mostly because of the 1.5m ride to the trailhead on icy roads.

Grand Ridge Round Trip-WT Cold, snow, and ice made for tricky but fun conditions. Riding speeds were slow, but it was a good day to take the GoPro for the white scenery. Stopped to talk to Brett and Bruce from King County Parks.
