Kettle Crest Advocacy Festival

July 8-12

If you've never ridden at Kettle Crest then this is your chance to experience some of the best singletrack in Washington. There will be rides for all abilities of riders and you can come for one day or campout for multiple days.
This year we are expanding the festival to include a workparty (which is voluntary). Kettle Crest is in danger of becoming wilderness so anything we can do to show that mountain bikers are a positive force will help.

The bike park at Beacon

Work on the skills park is progressing nicely. Most of the beginner area is complete. In 2009 work will start on intermediate and advanced lines. The bike park is part of the larger plan for the Beacon Hill Project.

This FAQ addresses the most common questions about the Beacon Hill Project and the Sekani Bike Park.

Work is ongoing with the bike park so if you would like to help please contact

We want to especially thank Wheelsport East for helping FTTRC with map expenses related to the Beacon Project and the bike park planning process. Our corporate sponsors help us really make a difference.

Also, we want to thank Monica Spicker of SCC Dept of Natural Resources for helping with trail mapping, using professional level GPS units that are accurate to about 1 ft.

Corporate Sponsorships

We have a new level of membership available for businesses. Our corporate level membership is $100/year, gives benefits to shop employees, community recognition for supporting trail advocacy, and as much free advertising as we can give you.

About Us

We are a bunch of folks who like to have fun with mountain bikes. Not all of us wear lycra - some of us like air, big bikes and baggy shorts. No one gets graded on the bike they ride, the number of crashes they suffer, or how fast (or slow) they can ride. What we have in common is a love for riding trails, a desire to make cool new trails, and a commitment to keeping trails open for biking. Whatever your style, we invite you to join our growing community.
