By popular demand, we will be riding at Syncline both Saturday and Sunday this weekend.  The ride logistics are the same for both: 

We will be carpooling from Gateway Transit Center, leaving at 10am.  See the map for the parking lot location, it is the one that is not near the parking garage and does not have gates.  We will be at the trailhead around 11:30am. 

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.

We will ride for a few hours and wait for all riders at trail junctions.  Please bring food, water, and appropriate clothing.  A change of clothes for the ride home is also recommended.

For everyone interested in the Syncline area near White Salmon & Hood River: 

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.

Location(s)

Last Sunday was the start of the Syncline exploration beginning at the far west end. This Saturday the ride will once again begin at the far west end though will incorporate even more trails, more climbing and more exploration. The goal will be "no trail left behind". There is no planned route. It will be like last Sunday, if it goes up we take it and then we head East and go up some more and keep on exploring. What this means is a fun and fast descent at the end.
