If anyone is intrested in some 888r 200mm travel forks with a steer tube of 7 3/8 a friend of mine will let his go for $700 that includes the intergrated stem, and race face handled bars. Would like to sell them locally.

Toshi...You'll come to find that 10:30 and sunday are NOT in my vocab :D seriously tho, I'm shooting for more like 12 or so, we've got alot more daylight now, and it may be bloody hot during the day, I'd rather ride later and clearer headed, I've had a rough week of construction work and Fire school, I'm definately gonna live it up this weekend...:devil:

If anyone wants to ride urban downtown PDX give me a call. I ride almost everyday after work, M-F 7:00-3:30 pm. My wrist has been bothering me lately so I've been keeping it fairly mellow, mostly manualling and low impact stuff with the odd stair gap thrown in.

It sounds like me and some friends are going to do the "Sincline trail" tomorrow. If you aren't familiar with it, it's across the river from Hood River in Washington. About three miles out past Bingin on 14 to the left. We shuttle to the top. There are a couple of different ways down, both way fun twisty sigletrack with a variety of natural obstacles.
We usually go out and do fast DH runs with drops, jumps and such but two of us are trying to get healed up so this trail is a good choice.
We are leaving Portland about 10:30, should be out there before noon. See ya out there.

Tim,

I rode Syncline and Post Canyon today, just got home, great fun. First time getting my new bike in the dirt and riding hard since hurting my wrist. The upper trails at PC are really dry, dusty, and slippery.
I think were heading out there tommorrow.

Sorry I didn't get to hook up with you guys this weekend, I was too busy riding!

Hit PC on Friday evening to preview a new trail called 8-Track. Not yet officially open, but a good intermediate FR descent with good flow.

On Saturday it was Mary's Peak for some of the best technical XC the state has to offer. Check it out if you get down around Corvallis.

Sunday morning was a fitness climb up to Nestor's Peak here in HR. Super fast, rippy descent makes it worthwhile, give it a try in spring or fall for best conditions.

Sunday evening was PC again. Trying to work up the 'nads to hit the teeter on GP, and then doing balancing acts on that new skinny at the bottom of Dropout. Good fun!

I believe the GFRA maps of PC are now done and in the local bike shops. They should be helpful in getting oriented and finding new stuff to hit.

I'd love to ride in the afternoon this week, but I just started a new job at UPS (M-F, twilight shift- 5:30-9:00) and I get off school at 2:10, so for the rest of this term I have pretty much no time during the week to ride. Hopefully for next term my schedule will allow more riding on weekdays!

Well, I was gonna ask Toshi if he was going to PC this weekend but I just read that he's bailing for boston....

So, is anyone else going to PC this weekend?

Mallet, lets see what the weather is like on thursday. If it is wet then I am out don't get me wrong I don't mine riding in the wet but I have to work in the afternoon and it takes me to long to clean the bike and myself before work.
Have you been to Larch?
