?i just saw the p whipped comment.......well the truth is yes though!
actually i'm not going to go. haven't heard back from anyone about today, and still feel under the weather from last night.
but i WILL be at the truck stop (exit 17, i-84!) tomorrow at 10:30 am. cell phone is (509) 771-0827 for those planning on going.
I'm still in for PC, I'll be at the truck stop before 10:30 so I'll see everyone there! (or just Toshi)

Hey, just wondering if I can get some info on the Zoo trails. Where are they in relation to the MAX stop by the zoo? I haven't been on that side of the city for a long time, so I can't picture the area. Sounds fun if I can ride the train, bike, ride the train, bike...
I'm in Troutdale, kinda close to a station, it'd be a nice to know where to go. Also, anyone know of any fun riding in the Troutdale area?

nice riding with you guys. my neighbor john (on the xc hardtail
) managed to bend his bars? or stem? or frame? or fork? or something, in any case, on the drop trail, high ball? ehhe i am full of question sin this post. anyway, 'twas a good day of riding 
and i, too, would be interested in the lowdown on this zoo trail. also, does anyone know of intermediate (4 ft or so) dirt jumps closer to downtown than beaverton?
Hey guys, sorry I missed ya'. Had planned on getting to PC, but the day got started a bit later than we had hoped. How were the trail conditions?
Sweet! I'm heading up there Wednesday after work. With the sun we've got in store for the next couple of days, it should be primo.Originally posted by Toshi
the trails were in beautiful condition. the mud is finally starting to dry up
PC was awesome, I also realized how out-of-shape I was pushing my bike back up some of those hills. I'm a little sore and my back wheel is now bent but it was fun as hell. I'll definitely go back to ride.
It's pretty cool that we met up with that Chris guy and his wife to shuttle, that helped out a lot.

What's up Toshi, Zane and whomever else was at Post Canyon yesterday. Good ridin' with you all. I'm the dude on the white Bullit with the broken derailleur 
Those trails were totally sick! lots to work on this season. BTW, did anyone get Seth's number? He said he was going to leave it on my truck but I didn't see it. Anyway, I'm in SE portland and hopefully will be riding a few days a week so I'll keep tabs on this thread. I'd love to find some local spot to practice jumping too... I've got a little something going in my back yard so I'll post some pics when I finish.
cheers,
Ben

Ben, you should check out the jumps out at 172nd and Powell.. Turn South onto 172nd and pull in next to the recycling center. You'll see a gate with a lil roll in on the right that leads into a big open feild... Ride in and look to your right. You'll find what your lookin for.
well kinda, enough so that i have free time to ride. who is up this week?
Woo-hoo, now PDX monkey!! Right on!!Originally posted by scriz

Anyone riding today, tomorrow, or wednesday?
YES! Finally, people can ride during the week!
Has the stuff at camas been plowed yet? If not, I'd like to check that place out one day this week..... Sound good to anyone else?
Also, there's some cool stuff that's been recently built at discovery- some more drops & jumps, a cool spiral ladder, and a narrow teeter. That place is fun for a short session (short because you get tired of pushing your bike back up the hill just to hit something).
Okay, I'm busy today (and my bike needs some TLC) but any other day this week would be good.
I'm off work thursday to sunday, I'd be up for riding just about anywhere.
how about tomorrow? I can be out there around 6 or earlierif i bring my bike to work. So someone built stuff? Sounds good.
Chuck maybe we could do Camas thursday afternoon.
I haven't met any of you guys yet because I'm just starting to ride again, but I'm available thru wedsnesday. So wassup?????
Im new to this board but ive met a few of the riders on here. Im one of the guys who has been building some of the stuff on the discovery trail that zane was talking about. I'm up for riding any day this week except for thursday if anyone wants to hit some local stuff in the afternoon.
gunslingger-
sounds good. give me a call.
I was thinking about riding wildcat saturday or sunday...but Im up for wherever people are going.

Gunslingger, this thread is awesome! We just keep on piling on local riders! Nice job.
Welcome, eknomf!
We're hitting PC on Thursday, too, if anyone is interested. We'll start at 5:30 - 6:00, so any interested PDX monkeys can make it.
I've got to true up my wheel and add some oil to my fork, but after that I'll be good to go. Um, hmmm.... I'll try to get to that after school today and maybe this evening I'll be able to ride.
yeah, this thread's great...if we could all round up one of these weekends, we'd have a bloody HUGE crew eh...anyone riding PC this weekend? I'm hoping the rain's not gonna come back, I'd like to hit that great stuff in the dry, the intro to GP is just NOT fun to me in the wet...Scrig, welcome, always great to see another Portland rider eh...
Toshi, that sounds killer, I'm gonna be ahggard from work this week, but I'm just itching to hit that **** RIGHT NOW....I've gotta stop an annoying creak in my BB, and I'm ready to rock...I'll bring the trailer this time, the Jetta didn't like the road up to the top of PC
that is defintiely not a good road for a car, especially if it is wet.......
have you guys hit that jump/drop things that is in three parts? I saw a pic of it buthave never seen it in person. it is a take off, a top round landing then a landing drop kinda thing.
