We would need 2 trucks or lots of lung power. It would be am long haul, but we could start Above that last section, ride down, then climb the death hill and then do the rest of the loop thats mostly down.......

I have one truck. I don't mind climbing, as long as there is a top of the hill ;)

That way wouldnt be so bad. You start with a real fun down, then struggle for a while, then basically end up at the place where we started that one day. I'd be up for that...... or if Daniel can go then we'd have 2 trucks like last time...... Maybe if we had 2 trucks wwe could ride from the top.

Oly, I need to get down there bad. Memories of all the old school Eric Eaton races in the '90s left good memories.
But, I'll be gettin' a board on in ID this weekend. It is snow season after all.
Right?

Sorry midge. Were all fat and lazy these days. Plan is for a shuttle from wedekind camp down to porter creek. Even daniel says the climb out of the valley is a killer, and he can just about climb a vertical wall in the middle ring....

time still not set, not too early, but not too late. Sound good?

OK then fine... unless we are taking GL6 down (I hate the f'in Hells Creek bottom in winter) but I am quite happy to do Mima/Porter/8 anytime. Let me know what trail...

In the past I have taken GL6 down and MP8 back up, its epic.

Last time the way it worked.

1. meet at chevron (10:00).
2. drive to wedekin camp
3. leave me and tim to freeze and watch bikes (11:00)
4. kevin, amy, daniel drive to porter creek camp ground in warm trucks
5. Daniel drives kevin and amy back in his warm truck, tim and I continue to freeze.
6. Drop daniels truck at top, and start to ride the trail (12:00 ish)

so by that maybe like 11:30 time frame? We park past the camp ground in the day use area..... works well.

Swell. I will see you guys at Wedekind Camp at 11:30. I will pedal up from Porter Creek.

Sounds tempting but i'm riding down with T&S, so i'll be with them. But climbing is on the docket for sure, i'm growing weary of small flat XC rides, and salivating at the opportunity of hitting some early epics once our whimpy winter is over.

SM- Just a word of warning...

If your starting at porter creek do you plan to ride road up? Or trail up (GL#6)?? The bridge is out at on the trail from porter creek to the GL#6 MP#8 intersection. Its an ok crossing, but i wouldnt want to start a ride out wet.

See ya in the 11:30 time frame. How long should we wait if your not there??

Uh... have I ever been late?* :D

So the bridge is out. That sucks in a big way. :nuts:

Plan B. I'll still park at Porter Creek but will pedal C-1000 to the C-Line and hook into Mima Porter and take the trail up.

What trail are we taking down?

* oh... I mean don't wait - if I'm not there its because I am dead.
