Welcome to the area. Cap rules!

You ride XC or DH? or both? Im booked for weekends the next few weeks, but we sometimes do midweek cap rides....

Its not the shuttle that the peak used to run. Just a group of guys that like to ride. We also have a freeride/jump place to ride if your interested. Let me know when your up for riding.

Sweet, sounds good. I work 2-10 with Wednesday/Thursday off. Saturday mornings are good for me. Sundays arent so good. I have paintball pratice in the mornings. But I could miss one for biking.

You can shuttle this trail in about 10 minutes for aobut 6 or so minutes of trail. Its easy to do with drivers alternating. Depends how we wanted to do it. We could also just hike the lower part....

Your more than welcome to go. Not sure if its worth the drive all the way from Raymond, but if you havent ridden latley it could be good.

Solid plan in a couple days....

hey guys, there is a growing group that shuttles on sundays at 8:00 am. we meet at the bottom of c-line. anyone is welcome to come and ride. the reason it is so early is becouse a couple of us have to be at work at 11:00. As far as the freeride trails go just let me know when you want to check them out and I will get it arranged no prob. Anybody going to be around to ride on sat, i am looking for a group to ride with.

That would be #30. THe DNR sawed the stunts after some XC guy fractured his neck doing an endo. Trail 30 is the most DH friendly trail in cap, and is easy to shuttle.

Did you guys make it out? On top of having to watch my kid I also got violently Ill wednesday night. Im just now finally feeling better.

What trail do you guys do on this shuttle?? It would be cool to get back into the cap sundays. Ive missed that since the peak shuttle went down.

Yea we did it, it was alot of fun. We hiked 30 a couple of times, and took one shuttle up. Then I and another biker went all the way to the bottom. It was good times.

For those who are wondering, I can't make it out Saturday or Sunday this week.

BrandonWatts
05-19-2006, 02:26 PM

Hey oly, we have done green line from not quite the top to fall creek camp, and 30 from the towers back down to the bottom. You should join us if you have the time.
