Where to Ride in E. WA this weekend ?

[dirtbikesonny]

A buddy and I just got our suspension back , had everything revalved and resprung, and have yet to ride it.  We are headed to Elsinore GP in a couple weeks. So we would like to ride something  similar to that terrain to get a set up on our bikes. I think it's a safe bet that were not going to find a place like that on the west side of the mountains especially with the recent weather we have had. From the videos I've seen Elsinore has a moto section and a lot of high speed sections that are relatively "smooth". I'm sure  it gets hacked out from sheer volume but I have not seen huge whoop sections, though I sure there has to be some. Any recommendations for this Sunday?  I'm in Oly and am hoping to keep within a 3 hour radius of the house.

 

Thanks in advance!

Huge whoop-de-doos? Taneum Junction got some and it's less than 3 hours away.

juniper has a lot of fun stuff and a variety of desert trail (sagebrush) and sand dunes with plenty of whoops! may be a tad over 3 hours from Olympia though but with the mx track (HRMC/DTMX) right around there as well that may just serve you guys for a great weekend of riding

I hear the Moses lake sand dunes are good as well but have never been

Mattawa.

Thanks, think I’ll have to check this out at some point. Any guesstimate on trail mileage?

That's hard for me to say since I'm a bit of a track rat but there's definitely some potential, they hold a hare scramble pit on by the ewdra every year
