Was up by Ruttenbur today (3/27), and I decided to ride a bit on the trail (point H). Surprisingly, it was rideable due to the ground still being frozen. Although the top layer was soggy, I didn't encounter any major mud holes. But that's not to say I emerged from the trail as clean as when I entered.

Conditions were awesome today from Point R to Point V (thanks to the great weather). Ventured over the the singletrack, but it still needs time to dry out.

lower overland, R to V plus extension is dry, county has been tossing slag in the low areas on the trail so it ain't bad at all.

Why can't I find this mythical singletrack?

I've ridden and run the whole of the eastside overland trail, and I haven't seen hide nor hair of anything resembling singletrack. Help me!

There have been maps posted here and they are also on the Harris Hill facebook page, you will never find them all on your own without a map.

There isn't a map on this website that shows the trails. The FB page is more helpful. Maybe that map should be posted here?

Go to page 3 of this discussion, an older one is there. I will have a purty new google map as soon as I can get up there with the Gps sampling cranked up. Not sure where to find a map making expert with idle time.Shocked Basically head down the 1st gravel road you cross when starting at the south end. There is a also a singletrack connector at the top of the first climb that used to have a sign, but it was within drunk walking distance of the end p-lot so it got stolen.

If you want a GPS track, I am planning on riding there on Friday morning (early) so I can send you the gpx track from my 305 if you want it.

Also, not sure if i was off track or not but on the singletrack i came upon a fairly large tree down across one of the trails..i'm pretty sure it was on the blue trail though.
