HELP NEEDED…
We need your help. Take one look at this page and you’ll see quickly that it is underutilized, not updated enough, and lacks an overall gnar that a mountain biking website should.
So… are you a member who’s looking to support the club? Do you have ANY skills (no matter how small) in running a web page or blog? Have you ever had that guilty feeling like you want to do more but just don’t know where to start?

Dark Side Ride 2012
When: September 29th, 2012
Where: Mission Ridge parking lot
What: Two different ride options (one during the day and one at night under a full moon), beginner mountain bike classes, women’s only mountain bike clinic, free camping at Squilchuck State Park, dinner, drinks, live music!
This year the Ride has turned fundraiser. All proceeds from this event will be going to support the Central Washington Chapter of the Evergreen mountain bike alliance. Evergreen is a 501C3 Non-profit organization, which advocates for recreational trails, trail construction, and trail maintenance.

Evergreen is currently working with Federal and State land managers on these large projects:
The Ski Hill Project in Leavenworth, WA
This project will add 15-20 miles of new mulit-use trail. It will connect with Freund Canyon. Stacked loops will offer everyone from beginners to experts an exciting trail experience. Rosie Boa and Ribbed trails get re-routed and return as well!
The NEPA process for this project is it its final writ-up stage. It will go out for public comment this Fall and we could see tools in the dirt when the snow leaves this Spring.
Number 2 Canyon Recreational Area
Evergreen is working with the FS here as well. This project would add 50-60 miles of new trail to the Number 2 Canyon area. Trails have been proposed that would connect #2 Canyon with the top and bottom of Devils Gulch. Another proposed trail would connect #2 with the Horse Lake property and Sage Hills trail system. This project proposal includes a new parking area, toilets, signage and kiosk, skills park area, dirt jump area, and miles and miles of connected loops for all to enjoy.
This project is in the infancy stage. Money has to be raised and grants are being written. Once this happens planning can begin. This planning process usually takes about a year. Once planning is complete the project must endure the NEPA process. This can take 1-3 years depending on funding, FS priorities, etc… Once that is complete the process moves into the public comment phase. Once that phase is complete construction can begin. This proposed project is HUGE! It will take time but it will be worth it.
This project is already being supported by:
Squilchuck State Park
Evergreen has submitted a trail proposal for Squilchuck State Park. State Parks officials are currently working on SEPA , which is their environmental impact process. The bulk of this work has already been done. New trails, a skills park area could begin construction very soon. The plan would include trails throughout the park and would also connect to adjacent property.
Washington State Department of Natural Resources
Evergreen has two members who currently sit on the recreational DNR planning committee that look to expand trail opportunities from Wenatchee to Ellensburg. Current planning ideas include multi-system trails that would connect the Wenatchee and Ellensburg valleys. Epic rides, miles of sustainable trails, multi-day adventures with Yurts?!?! Why not!
IMBA Ride Center
Some staff from IMPA recently took a look at nominating Wenatchee for its Ride Center status. Ride Center are designated when areas are a hub for epic mountain biking activity. Ride Centers bring mountain bikers from all over the country to town to stay an play. The economic impact of a Ride Center designation is substantial! Evergreen is currently working with IMBA to improve the mountain biking opportunities so that we will qualify in 2013. We were only 7 points short this go around!
