This lesser known Leavenworth classic will test your mettle
Out in Leavenworth, WA, I previewed what the upcoming chilly winter months have to offer with Icicle Ridge. Despite the frigid name, the climb up was sweltering as we kept ascending, even reaching temperatures over 100 degrees, Icicle Ridge provided little reprieve from the sun. The heat combined with the trail’s steep elevation made this…
WA state’s longest flow trail?

Can he make it? Riding “ALL BRAITH”!
I’ve known Andy since my days working at Ibis, as he became an Ibis employee after his career as a professional road cyclist ended abruptly with a poorly timed broken collarbone. Today, Andy works as an engineer remotely for Ibis, and has moved his family to Bellingham, WA. When I’m not out breaking my pelvis…
