Events
Okay, so really nothing will be sinful about this day or ride. It should be a delightful time with great folks. Come on out and ride with us. Meet up with friends from last year's riding season that have been in hibernation and meet new friends too! The time to ride is now!
A fun day riding at Syncline. And to think, I've never been to Syncline before - that is likely the true sin here! But, there is going to be some fine folks on hand that have knowledge of the trails. Judging by Jordan's forum post, the conditions are primo right now.

Gonna get a few miles in after work this evening. Hoping to do HH/Skeet section after dark. Should be fun. Lights would be absolutely needed after about 8PM. Will be at the blue gate between 6 & 6:30, depending on traffic, etc...

Ride and then be back in town for Seasons showing at the Baghdad! We will be carpooling from Gateway Transit Center. See the map for the parking lot location, it is the one that is not near the parking garage and does not have gates.

Even though this event does not specifically pertain to mountain biking, it should be of interest because many of us use the streets and roads for recreational and/or commuting on. Safety is of utmost concern. David Anderson

I'm interested in checking out the Buck Creek Trail. I have never ridden there! It would be great to have folks on this ride that have been there before, but if not it will be somewhat exploratory on my part. We'll plan to carpool from Gateway Transit Center, south parking lot not near the parking garage and not gated (See map below), and depart at 8:00am.
Plan for several hours of riding, with climbing and descending. Bring water and food and appropriate clothing. A change of clothes for the ride home is nice too.
Fat Tire Farm will be showing Kranked 7: The Cackle Factor at the Clinton Street Theater (2522 SE Clinton St Portland, OR 97202) on May 10th.
All ages show $5 - Doors 6:00 Show 6:30
21+ Show $10 - Doors 8:00 Show 8:30.
This will be the usual Fat Tire Farm party with FREE BEER from New Belgium Brewery and swag being thrown out to the crowd. Tickets are available now at the Fat Tire Farm.
I will be leading a trail maintenance and ride day on the Wilson River Trail (WRT). We will plan to meet at the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse for car pooling at 9:00am. We will access the WRT near Keenig Creek Trailhead from Cedar Butte Road and clear as many of the small trees and branches from the trail working east towards the Footbridge Trailhead. You may recall from my earlier posts that this section of trail had quite a bit of blow down and wash outs from the winter storms.
