Trans-Cascadia is partnering with the Northwest Motorcycle Association this June for two volunteer trail work weekends in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
Dirt bikers and mountain bikers. Same forest, same trails, same mission.
We ride more of the same trails than most people realize and this June we’re showing up together to take care of them. Two work weekends, fully supported camps, meals handled, tools provided, and a group ride day to close it out.
Work Party #1 — Cowlitz Valley | June 11–14
Work Party #2 — Mount Adams | June 25–28
Registration is free, learn more via our website or the link in our Instagram bio.

Big thanks to in Tacoma for hosting great mountain bike night last night! So many good conversations and so much stoke in one room.

was able to share a bit about us and showcase what Trans-Cascadia is all about with the new Trail Tales video we filmed with . A fun time for some of the TC crew to come together.

Thanks for to everyone for coming out! If you’ve ever thought about giving back to the trails, would love to have you at a work party this year. More info soon! In the meantime, Wily Cycle Works is an epic spot for coffee, beers, and all things bikes. 🤘🏼

Years of asking finally paid off. Trans-Cascadia race maps are here!

This Giving Tuesday we launched something special, and we don’t want you to miss it just because you’re not on our email list:

Seven races from the past decade. Donate and pick your maps (more details on linked page).

Here’s the thing, you’re also supporting the trails. Work parties, chainsaw crews, feeding volunteers, and keeping backcountry singletrack from vanishing under overgrowth.

Can’t donate? Come swing a tool with us at a work party. We’d love to have you.
Campaign runs through 12/9. Link in bio 🔗

We’re still daydreaming about these amazing days! The Trans-Cascadia Dream Build Giveaway is wrapping up this month! Word is somehow Squatch coerced Henry into handing over the Starlink password so he could enter. Can’t confirm, but it checks out. He’s pretty stoked, it’s his dream bike.

Your entries help us clear, restore, and protect multi-use trails across some of the most beautiful backcountry zones in the Cascades.

Every ticket fuels real trail work and keeps these wild places open for riders, hikers, and trail users of all kinds.

🎟 Enter before it’s gone, link in bio.

’Twas the last night of Trans-Cascadia, and all through the base, not a racer was sleeping, still buzzing from the race.

Podiums filled with victors, champagne corks flew,
volunteers cheered as their hard work paid off too.

And in the end, it was clear to all who had come,
we’d shared an amazing week where everyone won.

signed off in style by Brock and Rod,
legendary news anchors, now part of the squad.

A week to remember and for that, we applaud.

TC magic = bikes + great folks. Sure, it’s a race… but it’s also a rolling party in the woods with 100+ new friends and some of the best views out there. Those bright larches and endless ridge lines of this year’s race. 🫨

Big thanks to for sponsoring the TC backcountry medical team and equipping them with advanced ultrasound tools in the backcountry.
