Local gravel rides and races
Local to me means Washington State, and the Snoqualmie region in particular. Here are a bunch of gravel rides in a few different formats – my Strava, FatMaps by Strava, and some local strava groups worth exploring.
For a nice easy-access ride, bring your gravel bike, trail bike, hybrid bike or mtb and park in the big gravel lot at King and Railroad in downtown Snoqualmie.
Go across the street to Bindlestick Cafe and get a triple machiato, suck that baby down then jump on the Snoqualmie Valley Trail (SVT) at Mt. Si Golf Course and probably get to see a bunch of elk across from the couse.
Another option is to cross the bridge above Snoqualmie Falls, head behind the millpond to get to the Mainline to enter the Campbell Global tree farm.
If your plans are to hit the tree farm, you’ll need a permit ($10/day or $75/annual).
Motorized permits sell out in hours. ($300 annual)
