I looked on topozone.com and can sort of trace the glade trail to govy, then the pioneer trail down to welches. I also have a bunch of the Green Trails topo maps of hood at home that i just remembered.PsychO!1 said:I can get us from the DQ to Timberline, no problem. It's trail back down i don't know.
WHEW!!!! I feel better now.Snacks said:We'll be fine! Remember Skookum is going and he can find anything!
Is the rest of the Psycho! team heading out for this ride too?PsychO!1 said:WHEW!!!! I feel better now.
It's super easy, the Alpine trail Comes down from the bottom of the old Blossom Lift, the Glade is just alittle further west of there and drops you behind the Huckelberry Inn in Govvy...I forget where it excatly starts, but if you go to the P-lot a timberline and ask around people will help you...Look for Jim Tripps, he's THE man on the mountain, he knows everything eh...good luck on the ride it's a ton-o-fun although I like the Alpine a bit more. It's shorter, but I know it so well from riding it home for a few years to Govvy that you can just flow the hell out of it. It'll drop you at the top of the Summit Ski hill above their lift then you can screw around there and just drop out to the State Rest-stop there behind the Scumits and the Cheveron.PsychO!1 said:I can get us from the DQ to Timberline, no problem.

Would be nice to meet some Oru gun riders. C'mon Portland welcome as brothers and sisters and buy us a steak at the Akropolis while we're down there.....
that sucks. i saw him up there, let him and his buddy shower in our condo in exchange for unbending my rotor...zane said:Holy sheeit, I just got off the phone with Jason Ding..... he's SCREWED UP. He was at whistler this past weekend and ate it, now he's off his feet for 8 weeks with a shattered foot (same foot as his ankle injury) plus rehab time. If you know him give him a call, he doesn't have much else to do.
I hear He went for the Tower of Power and totally overjumped it clearing the whole teeter! HARDCORE!zane said:Holy sheeit, I just got off the phone with Jason Ding..... he's SCREWED UP.

i can do syncline in the afternoon. my buddy is getting in at 1:30 or so, so we could be out there by 3:30 at least...eknomf said:Is anyone planning on riding tomorrow? I was thinking something like wildcat would be fun since there are no uphills and its in the shade, so the hot weather wouldnt be quite as bad.
Frank and I were talking about hitting Syncline. We missed you today up at Hood.eknomf said:Is anyone planning on riding tomorrow? I was thinking something like wildcat would be fun since there are no uphills and its in the shade, so the hot weather wouldnt be quite as bad.
Still, my bikes were not working. Do you or anyone else want to ride some street tonight? I want to ride my hardtail now that its fixed.TWISTED said:Ryan it wasn't as hot up on the mountain as it was down here.
Your plan sounds good to me.
I'd love to go if I could get a ride up there.eknomf said:Does anyone want to ride larch or something in the afternoon this week?
I wanna ride.Toshi said:any of you guys want to shuttle post canyon friday (tomorrow) afternoon? if not, then i'm going to head out there with my xc buddy and push up from the drop zone area
Id be up for that. Wha time about? Zane and I were also going to go ride larch and other things around there friday morning until maybe 2 or 3ish if anyone wants to come do that. Toshi - Your XC friend would probably have fun there.Toshi said:any of you guys want to shuttle post canyon friday (tomorrow) afternoon? if not, then i'm going to head out there with my xc buddy and push up from the drop zone area
Thanks, sounds great.Toshi said:how about 3:30 so that tim can come along too? He's too cheap to buy a car, what does he think we are, some kind of wellfare shuttle service?. :nuts:
heh. he can ride my xc bike. he'd be more comfortable on it anywayTWISTED said:Thanks, sounds great.
Toshi does Thad have a bike to ride? Do you want to borrow some parts?
I'll throw some parts on my 4" MC Zen xc bike if he would like to try it. Might be more like his Blur than your hardtail.Toshi said:heh. he can ride my xc bike. he'd never be comfortable on your Mountain Cycle crap anyway :nuts:
TWISTED said:I wanna ride.
I get off work at 3:30. My phones broken till I get a new one monday so please let me know on RM.
Toshi and I stopped to check those out on the way back from riding last sat.frizanko said:Well that explains why I couldnt get ahold of ya tonight.. Jeremy and got drunk and had butt sex.. It was pretty fun. It felt good to just session without having to masturbate for an hour. If anyone whos not going to PC tomorrow wants to hit my ass in the evening let me know. :nuts:
