It looks like its no longer supposed to rain on Saturday. So how about PC and if it does get wet we head over to syncline like Tim was saying.

Is there a time set for the truckstop yet? If not how about 9:30. I just talked to one of my friends who wants to come ride post canyon and he has a trailer im going to borrow that he says can hold about 10 bikes... So i should be able to drive 4 or 5 people and lots of bikes.

Damn, I sure picked a sh**ty weekend to move. I'm moving to an apartment near the vancouver mall on saturday, so I'm busy this weekend. It sounds like the whole portland/vanc posse will be at PC, hope you all have fun.

Ride in the morning, move at night and sunday Zane.
I'm still looking for a ride out there Ryan.
If theres no one in portland to get a ride to the TA with i could probably come pick you up. First i have to stop out by vancouver mall to get my friend Brian and his trailer, so its a bit out of the way but it will work.

I don't know yet...but I also might need a ride for me and my Bullit if anyone can swing by close-in SE PDX.

What happened to your car Karen?
It died. But hell, I got 225K out of it first. I am looking for a new rig but holding off til I get the funds for something sweet. (Wanna hook me up with more photo shoots with Mountain Cycle??? That would help ;-) Driving Kim's Tracker in the meantime, but I don't always have access to it...depends on our schedules.

What's up everyone... I'm in SE portland so if there are any of you that need a ride to the truckstop or all the way to PC give me a call. I've got a Tacoma 2WD. I can fit 2-3 bikes in the back and 2-3 monkeys up front if you don't mind the cramped extra cab. Anyway Tim or Karen, give me a call if you still need a lift. (415) 385-9627[c]

Missed out on today...couldn't quite get up after riding urban til 4:30 this morning ;-) But we're down with riding tomorrow...and I'm mobile. We might even have room for someone else, though that's still TBD. Is anyone else shuttling PC again tomorrow? If so, email me or call me at 503.522.4917.

Had fun today. :thumb:
You guys are gonna give me crap for this but I'm going up to Post Canyon Sunday. Yeah, I'm still hurt. I'm gonna be more of a tour guide to show people the new stuff.
It'll be a bit slower and I don't plan to do any drops. I'll drive shuttle mostly.
Were planning on heading out no earlier than 10:30am.
Anyone else want to go?

me and brian are both still in and so is his trailer... do you have a pin for a 2 inch reciever so we could get that trailer hooked up to charlies(i think) truck? I got a ball attachment for the reciever but we couldnt find a pin. Did any of the pictures you got today turn out... i thought that was a pretty good shuttle settup.. worth posting a picture of at least.


Also - someone left a raceface jacket in my truck. Im geussing its Tims.. but im not sure.

yeah, it's "charlie." sorry, i have no hardware -- i gave all that stuff back dutifully when i returned the rack.

about pics, i'll have some up sooner or later. didn't turn out all that great, and my web host is acting up (compounded by my own personal web server having gone up to the great colo in the sky this past week)

Hey, more new monkeys! Great!

I obviously missed out on the awesome riding this weekend but I'm done moving, and I have a huge garage at my new apartment so the bikes have more room than I do :D . Anyway, I'm free for both days next weekend so is everyone planning to hit PC again? I'm up for either or both days..........

Speaking of both days- anyone interested in camping up at PC saturday night? It'd save a lot of time and gas as opposed to driving home for the night. Just an idea.

Everyone should try to get in on this:

How's this sound- leadbetter on saturday morning (until about lunch-ish), PC saturday afternoon and evening, camp at PC, ride more PC sunday morning. Head back whenever. Sound good to everyone?

Hopefully we can get a bunch of people for this, or who can meet up with us for at least part of the riding.
