Just give me a heads-up when you want to come down here and we'll hit the woods - need to wait until late September or early October given trail closures Anyway, my buddy has spent a ton of time getting his camp van sorted. It's not actually a Sprinter, but the Ram 1500 version. He's done an amazing job - was bare bones w/o windows and he's made it into something supremely cool. Solar on top, can haul 3-4 bikes, removable sleeper-sofa, platform bed above the bikes, and all kinds of cool bits here and there (LED lighting, USB chargers in the wall, etc). Send me your email address via PM and I'll get you in touch with him. He's always eager to talk about his van...lol. |

If you have some time to waste, here's a bunch of video If you want to see a couple of the hairball trails, check 7th and 8th links (Spiny Ridge). The 3rd through 5th links are one of the trails the folks just re-did - cool section of single track that reminds me of Yozoo in Gifford (Odin's Ridge).

Fun ride..
Great area to ride, I lived in Beaverton in the late 80's - mid 90's and loved riding that area. Rode a KX500 back then, yikes, youth LOL.. I need to come over and steal you for a guide sometime next spring.

Yeah, I was in my late 20's, 6'1 195 lbs and in excel condition. It was actually a great bike with the power valve and motor tuned right, just rode 3rd gear all day. lol I'd try to avoid super tech stuff like spinney ridge but that's about it. When is the latest you are normally riding, it's got to be getting sloppy already I'd think.. I plan to head out somewhere in a couple weeks to ride but was thinking it would be too late to head that way, what's your thoughts??

Generally speaking, the coast range is a safe bet for riding through December. We might get some snow here and there, but the trails are usually good if things don't freeze. It's definitely not too late to head this way if you want to get some fun TSF riding in. I know the weekend of Oct 16th is booked, but don't think we have too much on the calendar for the following weekends (aside from Halloween with our boys). Let me know when you're thinking and I'll do my best to clear the calendar. I doubt I'll be able to get out the weekend of Oct 23rd as I'm planning to be in Gifford Pinchot for a few days the weekend prior. Maybe shoot for the first weekend in November? |

Cool, I'll catch ya in the spring likely, I'm taking the week of the 25th off. Probably head to the desert, grew up in AZ and still like to do a ride down there every year. Keeps my ass full of cactus thorns. lol. If your calendar clears the weekend of the 24th or 31st let me know I am free to head whatever direction the wind blows. I have some people I'd like to visit in the Sea/Tac area.
