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:

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:

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.....
I was also told to do alpine, then crosstown.... I have 2 greentrails maps from back in the day when i used to play on hood.... back in 95. We shouldnt get too lost.....Get_Some 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.
Yeah, that's what I hear too....Gnarcore!!!
Toshi- did you get rid of your old phone? Give me a call or PM me, I wanna ride urban tomorrow morning (de-virginize my hardtail).
Anyone else wanna ride some street tomorrow morning???

Looking forward to it...I've never in 25 years made it up the hill without having to stop at thriftway, so I hear ya... I'll be in a Dark blue/purplish Jeep with a trailer behind it, so I'll be lookin out for you guy's...oly 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.
I didnt go up to mt hood because it didnt sound that fun. Too hot and my bike was messed up, but today i got my scream and my hardtail working decently so im ready to ride tomorrow. Syncline sounds good to me.. still havent been there yet. Toshi - 3:30ish would be ok with me, or maybe tim and frank and I could head out there earlier and meet up with you or something.
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:
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
I get off work at 3:30. My phones broken till I get a new one monday so please let me know on RM.
I was also thinking about heading out to a BMX track this weekend, either Newberg or Mollalla. Both tracks are open for practice. The Newberg track has the world famous skatepark next to it if you like to skate. Bmx tracks are excellent practice for working on flowing over jumps. Anyone else interested?
That Red Bull Fluvag thing is saturday down at the waterfront. Might be fun to do some urban down there and check it out.
Thanks,
Tim
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

Well that explains why I couldnt get ahold of ya tonight.. Jeremy and I went to the DJ's off Powell and 172nd.. It was pretty fun. It felt good to just session without having to drive an hour. If anyone whos not going to PC tomorrow wants to hit Leadbetters in the evening let me know.
Toshi and I stopped to check those out on the way back from riding last sat.frizanko said:
We thought they looked pretty beat. I met Ryan (eknomf) and Zane at the Wendy's jumps in Vancouver a few days ago. They looked real good, rode there for a little while before heading downtown pdx.
I want to hook up and ride with you guys, try to get ahold of me. PM me your phone number.
