If anyone's intrested, lil Jeff and I are going to do the Green River to Naches and back ride Saturday the 19th if everything works out. Sounds like a great spot to hit up, never been there myself but from what I've been told its real similar to Tanem style trails.
Green River to Naches
- Thread starter WA-Rider
- Start date
I will try to make it also. It sounds like a fun ride.
Highbeam, I sent my entry in last month some time. I have to mount a new high-zoot headlight, Acerbis. I hope it will work. It has 2 halogen bulbs so I'm hoping it will be enough light.
But yes I think I'm ready. I may try to sneal up to Capitol Forest for an evening ride to check out the new headlight. The rules state you are not supposed to ride after dark, but I could accidentally get lost or breakdown until dark.

I am not planning on being too competitive at the night enduro. I will only have the stock XR headlight so I can't see my clock or odometer. My main goal is to not fall off any more bridges and experience night riding. But who knows, maybe I'll kick butt or come in first in my class if noone shows up.

Kneese,
I saw your post stating you have a couple of weeks of vacation so if you want to get out and ride drop me an email at joshinu@comcast.net and lets go ride. I myself have this summer off except for some online college courses. I'm always looking to get out and ride, and I want to try and ride every spot in Washington and the hot spots in the surrounding states so if any of you want to ride drop me an email and lets go!

Whoops,
I meant Greenwater, not green river even though the green river runs right by greenwater. "Say that 10x over" ;)
Well, looks like we have a few contestants from ktmtalk, thats right, ktm's will soon take over, muahahahahahaa
Anyone else intrested in the ride on Saturday?

Maybe . . . we'll see.
Any Spokane-ites interested? I'd like to carpool.

Better check your map Wa rider, The Green River is a fair piece from Greenwater even as the crow flies. Its the next drainage north.
Highbeam, Legal trails on the Greenwater side ie the Naches Historic Wagon Trail from about Govt. Meadow, goes over the Naches Pass and connects to the Naches riding area via trail 941 at forest road 1914 or before. you can hook a sharp left at the 1914 road crossing and go about 1/2 mile on a private road through the posted gate if open (Pyramid Pass) and take a right onto the 941 or continue on the Naches Trail till the official junction.

Well looks like we've got about 5 to 6 riders from ktmtalk.
Jeremy, Fishead, Firecracker, are you guys going to be able to make it.
Fishhead,
Yeah I made a typo and typed green river instead of greenwater, oh well.
Jeff's checking into the hole construction ordeal that another guy mentioned from ktmtalk but it looks like it's going to be 8:00am Saturday the 19th at the Safeway in Enumclaw.
Hope you guys can make it, it should be a great time!

I'm trying, but most I probably only have a 20% chance of going. :(

It's doubtful--I have a bunch of other stuff going on, and probably won't be able to afford the gas money. I'll try but I can't promise much.

Bummer you two!
Well if you can, you know the spot and time, will give a 15 min. waiting period. Leaving Enumclaw Safeway at 8:15-8:20am
Fishhead? Anyone else? How about your phantom readers who live in the area, yeah you, you know who I'm talking about. ;)

Just a heads up on road closures for your trip. I know that the onramp from 512 onto 167, and also the onramp from 167N onto 410 both close at 7PM on friday. I don't remember when they open back up, but that may cause problems for some of you who are planning to take that route to Enumclaw......

I hope someone can do a visual on the road closure on FR 70 as the ranger district says it it closed for 2 months while they replace a culvert that has been identified as blocking the passage of non-existent salmon. It is closed below the area that is open to motorized use of the Naches trail.

Fishhead, I called the US forest Service office in Enumclaw today, and the lady said it will not open until Sept. 03'. She said they had the whole road tore up. I think what they are doing is replacing the big drainage pipe under the road to be more enviromentally friendly or something like that. That means you can't reach the Naches by Pyramid pass either. I'm hoping everybody can come to Evan's Creek though. I have'nt been there in a few years. I would like it if you came to. We're meeting at the Union 76 station on Hwy. 410 just before you come into Buckley at about 8:30AM or so.
Let me know if you can come, anyone else also.

I posted this over on our other thread on ktmtalk but I'll post this here too.
What about anything else up 410? Or what about any trails up towards White Pass? Evans creek sounds good and all but its the weekend and I can't get any of you old farts out during the week so I look forward to traveling to new spots on the weekend with you guys. How about Gifford Pinchot? Or the trails up by Mt St. Helens?
We can hit up Evans any time after you guys get off work during the week so if your not up for dropping over into Naches then lets try something else like GF.
If Jason doesn't want to drive further than where were at then he can load up with me.

Fishhead,
Ride went great! We ended up doing about 20 miles worth with some extra loops to get a full day's in as the trails up there are limited in length. They had a huge 4x4 convention going on up there so the whole area was infested with 4x's, parking was very limited! All in all it was a great day, very hot, I actually got home last night and right before I was about to sleep both of my thighs at the same damn time started spasming to the point of tear type pain. I had some sort of thigh spasm in both legs for about 5 min., I almost had to go to the hospital but the pain spasm stopped right as my wife called some nurses she knows. I've never ever had anything like this happen with my legs before, the whole upper portion from knee to the pelvis was doing some sort of convulsion thing. All I can say is that's some of the worse pain I've felt in awhile.
Has anyone else ever had this problem? Dehidration? I mean I drank
140 oz of water followed by about 5 beers so I wasn't sure what caused it?
