I also hear the trails are great and the views stunning. Looking for riders who want to go down Friday and return Sunday that weekend. Details on the race are still sketchy, ,but hopefully will be posted soon. What little data athere is can be found here:

OK…By popular vote the date for the “BIG RIDE” is officially pushed to Saturday
Have you ever wanted to do the Ape Canyon and Smith Creek loop trails? Well, here's your chance! We'll be leaving from the Marble Mountain Snow Park, north-east of Cougar, WA at 8:00A. The Ape Canyon trail is in excellent condition this year. Even though the upper Smith Creek trail is currently in pretty rough condition, there are several work parties scheduled before Labor Day weekend which should clear out most of the brush in time for this ride.

Hi,
I'm a roadie at heart that just switched back to mountain biking, and would love someone to show me around the trails out in Scapoose. I've been out there twice, but keep to the same 2 loops, mainly b/c I'm afraid of getting into something I can't handle. I'm not a total beginner, but I get scared on the descents (I'm faster going up than down!), and am really looking for folks to ride with.
Anyone interested in going this Saturday morning? Or maybe one day after work next week? You can email me at maggiefin@yahoo.com.
Join PUMP for the final campout of the season.
The ride around Waldo lake is not to be missed. The ride is approximately 22 miles. It is fairly buff single track with a few technical sections. The lake is a pristine blue and the trail offers many viewpoints. There are also many other ride options for lengthening your ride or for Friday and Sunday rides.
What to bring:
Hey everybody.... I talked with John Joy last night after the FP ride. I volunteered to lead a ride out at Scappoosey on Friday night if anyone not going to Waldo wants to come out. Please bring lights as it will likely get dark on us... I'll be at the gate before 6pm rain or shine.
*** TOMORROW WE RIDE ****

Approximately 22 to 25 mile loop. Begins with a six-mile strenuous climb then is a mix of rolling hills, and some short climbs. There is a section of baby heads and some larger rock to traverse on a fast and reasonably steep descent. This is not a beginners ride. You need solid skills and at least moderate aerobic capacity.
First annual ride exploring some of Hillsboro's inner city parks plus learning basic bicycle road safety. Bring the whole family for this easy ride. Volunteers and refreshments at each stop. All participants are encouraged to visit the Civic Center Plaza upon completing the ride for more refreshments and let the kids romp in the fountains. For more information e-mail TourdeParks@comcast.net.
Meet at 15835 NE Cameron Boulevard to carpool at 4:00 sharp
Fast paced, 13 mile psuedo loop around the top of Larch Mountain. Good climbing, great decent, good technical section
BRING LIGHTS!

Time: 9:00 am - 1:00 PM
The Washington Deparment of Natural Resouces is planning a work session to get this fine trail cleared after a few years of neglect. Last year's wind storms wreaked havok on the upper sections. They will provide a saw operator and are looking for volunteers to swamp for the sawyer and help with brushing and treadwork.
Three Corner Rock is a great trail close to the Portland-Vancouver area and is in need of some love and attention.
For more information contact Charlie Biggs: chuckbchef@hotmail.com
