oregon peeps....Whats the Pioneer trail on hood like? Worth a trip down from seattle?

PsychO!1 · Jun 24, 2004

I'd be down......also looking to do a skibowl day trip. Anybody interested in that?? Maybe we could do both in a day, spend the morning and early afternoon at skibowl, then finish the day off with the Timberline run.

Snacks · Jun 24, 2004

I'm pretty sure both of us would be down. Probably have to be in August though. July is full already!

Edit: I guess we are free the weekends of the 17th and 24th in July. Hitting Sunpeaks (yippee) for a long weekend the end of the month.

As far as the trailer......I think the white truck is on the selling block!!!

Are you still looking at buying a new rig snacks? Why is he selling the truck?

Yes, I'm looking at an older diesel 4x4 blazer, or waiting for Kevin to rebuild the tranny in his.

He wants a diesel VW. Better gas milage than the truck.

spincrazy · Jun 24, 2004

Know that Surveyor's Ridge or something like that is definately worth the trip. They're mt bike trails built by mt bikers. 45 lbs seems a bit much. Been years since I was up there, but really enjoyed the trails.

Wow! 4x4...and older...how old are you looking at. I really like our vw wagon. It would be better if it was diesel though! :rolleyes:

Cool. The double dipper sounds cool. Do a morning rip, then ride chairs? is the lift accessed stuff any good there? I'd invision the summit but steeper, but i dont know where they ride as SkiHole.

Skibowl has some great trails!!!! It's no Whistler, but waaaaaaay better than Snoqualmie IMO. 2 lifts to get to the top, lots of vertical!!! Definitly worth the trip.

Actaully the Timberlne run the AM and lifts in afternoon would work. The upper lifts run from 12-4 on weekends.

I need something to get me to work in the winter if it snows. Probably something in the late 80's to early 90's. Something cheap enough I can pay cash for.

Yeah, Kevin wants a wagon too, but he's having a hard time finding one around here that's diesel and manual tranny that's not brand new. Maybe a Jetta.

Back on topic....

Yes....there is some techy DH stuff in the woods. Also lots of high speed rock garden stuff in the upper bowl, and open flowy single track on Gnar Gnar. Skibowl rocks!!! I'm suprised more people don't make the trip.

MUTOLI · Jun 24, 2004

neaky: oh, sorry were you talking about riding??? ha ha!

O.K.....now this a hijack I can deal with!!! :love:

But it's worthless without pictures.

Rhino.....keep your pics outta here. :nope:

RonnieRiot · Jun 24, 2004

It's a fun trail. Long, fast and rocky. A couple short uphill spots, but no big deal. Definitely worth checking out. I'd go with the downhill bike, for sure.

oly said:
Been hearing about this trail from someone i work with. Whos done it? Ive been wanting to go check it out. I'd like to make plans in aug-sept to ride from Timberline to Welches (when the snows gone)

Would a 45lb DH bike be overkill? Or would a 5/5 trail bike be more fun?

Any Seattle monks commit to a ride down there?? Maybe get the trailhacker trailer going??

Skookum · Jun 25, 2004

I wanna go and we gotta have Gorgechris show us the Toilet Bowl Trail too while we're down there!!!!!

i gotta ride the toilet bowl...... that's all there is to it.....

Toshi · Jul 6, 2004

the toilet bowl trail at post canyon was fun this past weekend :devil: . i'd never ridden it before, and it seemed a nice, saner interpretation of what they're building these days (all the logs, 1/4 of the drops).

Skookum · Jul 6, 2004

Toilet Bowl trail with logs in Oregon.

Tell me how can it get any better?

PsychO!1 · Jul 6, 2004

Piss pouring rain???

Hack · Jul 6, 2004

I rode the Glade and the P. Bridal on the 4th. It was sweet. My buddy crashed on a rockgarden and went down an embankment and almost broke his leg.

Other than that it was great

STILL KEEPING THIS RIDE IN MIND!!!!!

August or september.... TIMBERLINE TO WELCHES! Lets do the whole thing.....

So D, you said on Friday you make this a day trip? We're down for day trippin' it.

TWISTED · Jul 7, 2004

Maybe I can come along. I'd like to do the ride down from Timberline. I don't have alot of fun at ski bowl. I either go slow or get hurt. That's what I get for pedaling down cannonball (how'd my bike get stuck way up in that tree? My head hurts).

Snacks · Jul 7, 2004

Yea, it would be a day trip. Portland is 2 hrs from Olympia, hood is another hr from portland.....not a bad drive at all.

D, check your calendar for the weekend of July 24th. Let me know how it looks for a day trip.

Snacks · Jul 7, 2004

Definatly come along if you can. It would be cool to meet some fellow monkeys.

Have you done this ride? What bike would be best? my trail bike or turner DHR? I could also put my boxxer on the trail bike.....

Kevin did it a couple of years ago and says is big bike worthly.

Skookum · Jul 7, 2004

This sounds like much fun, finally an excuse to ride the Bullit.

Bring the biggest bike you've got. Don't forget the HD tubes, High speed through lots of rock gardens.
I'll try to bring some friends. :thumb:
