Upcoming Events (2026)
East Fork Ride
o May 31st
o Due to scheduling issues and rider availability there is only going to be one day of riding this weekend in the East Fork area. That will be Sunday May 31st. It looks like we will be having a nice large group of riders.
The ride is being broken into two groups. The eastern riders (Cowlitz/Clark Co Riders) and the western riders (Skamania County Riders). The plan is for the two groups of riders to meet up in the middle of the ride to join for lunch. This could be around 6 hours of riding so make sure you bring plenty of food and beverages.
The eastern group of riders will be meeting at the Chelatchie Prairie store around 7:30-8am for breakfast and leaving to go up to the ride around 9am. They have been notified to expect us. Everyone will need a Discovery Pass in their vehicles for parking.
For those riding from the western side you will need to reach out to Jeff and Debra Van Camp at vancampdebra@gmail.com or Mike at president@cougarareatrailseekers.org to get the necessary details.
