I'll be in Seattle/Maple valley area for a week, I am from Albuquerque. I am looking for some good trails to ride. Any Ideas?
I'll be there from 12/19-12/28
Thanks,
Leo

Maple Valley is very close to Lake Sawyer.

STMCC and BBTC (local MTB clubs) both lead rides out there.

Leo,

There's trails right down the street from where you're staying. Most of the time they're referred to as Lake Sawyer, but others refer to them as Black Diamond since they're a mile from the town. These trails are about 10 minutes from Maple Valley and are rolly and tight/twisty. I was just out there on Sunday and they were in great shape.....they drain well so they're still rideable when things get wet.

Black Diamond has a shop with rentals if you don't bring your bike. They're cool guys and can get you a map if you're not riding with a local. Those trails are a labrynth.....and most aren't signed.

Beyond that, there's Tower of Power (Renton), Tokul East / West, Griffin Creek (Fall City), Tolt McDonald (Carnation) and several other areas that are within 1/2 hour of Maple Valley.

Chers,
EB

Let us know when you're free. We could try to get a group organized to take you around the woods.

Or... you can visit bbtc.org and head into the Recreation page for a peek at their ride calendar.
You can also sign up to their groups.yahoo.com listserve (bbtcmembers) and ask as many questions as you like...

Feel like doing an epic? http://www.capitolforest.com/index.html If it's raining try FT Ebey State Park, long drive but worth it. It get about 1/2 the rainfall of Seattle.
