You are close to all the Utah riding and not far all that far from western wyo and much of Idaho. also Out of Seattle has epic riding and prolly more rideable days then anywhere out west. Plus you aren’t but a few hours to some prime BC riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro and I along with a couple others are heading to Altuna Colorado next month for a wedding, and hoping to get a couple days of riding in, bro is still working on the details. This will be the third timeout there and after I’ve ran my own 155” for a couple years here in the northeast, so hopefully the competence level will be better than it was when we rented short tracks like 25 years ago.
