St. Edward's Park

St. Edward's is one of those Seattle-area mainstays, an urban riding area like Tapeworm but much less technical. Situated at the top of Juanita hill in Kirkland, just east of Sea-town, it's a fun little place to go burn some calories on the dirt. GG and I pulled up to the QFC parking lot across the street from the trails and got ready to ride.


Our bikes were really too big for these smooth, fast trails, but what the hell, it was fun to buzz around. Greg had to adjust his handlebars, gave me a chance to use my fancy camera...


The bikes look gooood, and the Ibis rode tough in only it's 2nd ride. Had some time to balance the suspension to dial it in. This was actually my first bike with a Fox RP23 rear shock and the pro-pedal works pretty well.


A lot of wind storms in Seattle means lots of fallen logs, and while sometimes these are cut out, sometimes they are turned into small stunts, which GG capably rocks... St. Edwards. 1.5 hours of rolling singletrack that is close to town.
