Have you been to Larch?
I haven't ridden any of the good stuff out here yet. I went riding out at Skyline tonight and I might hook up with some guys to ride tomorrow night if the weather holds up. Just let me know the deal.

frizanko, any details about leadbetter on saturday? Time, place, etc...
( I haven't been there yet, we could meet somewhere or you could PM/call )

About shuttling- I'll be driving a subaru with a bike rack (can hold 3 bikes and 3 people inside w/gear, and I'll probably have another friend with me so that's room for 1 more), or I can be the shuttle retrieval vehicle...either way works for me.

I work untill 2:00 so Im thinkin like 3:30 or 4:00... Its not too hard to find. Just head straight out 1st st. from 164th towards Camas. Its about a 5 min. drive out to the Lacamas lake boat launch parking area... Thats where we usually meet. As far as shuttleing goes... I'm working on getting someone with a truck to come out too, otherwise Im sure we can work something out pretty easily.. Most of the time we end up just sessioning different sections anyway.

Ken- if we go to camas you should come, but if nobody's going there I could possibly head to larch.... how wet will things be? I'll give you a call.

Id be up for larch this weekend. Sometime on saturday would work best for me. I was also thinking about heading out to Post Canyon again this weekend on sunday. What stuff do you guys usually ride Toshi? Do you have room for an extra rider or two?

ya know, I think I'm maybe gonna have to pass on Camas tomorow, I just went for a Pedal, and the hand is still not great, it's been healing alot every day, so hopefully by Sunday, with some sterry strips and some tape and gloves it'll be great, if you wanna hit Camas a little later in the afternoon tomorow, I may decide to go, I just wanna see how the hand shapes up by tomorow...

Good question, I came home just to ask the same thing :D

Damn, sorry, I didn't check my email earlier! Well, no doubt you boys had fun up there today, as the weather held.

Everybody make it through the day OK? You guys hit that teeter on GP? I still have not worked up the 'nads for that thing. My nemesis has been that skinny at the bottom of Dropout. Hella' tough! Gonna' go work on it tomorrow.
