Alright, who's in for the downwinder, and when should we start. We can plan on 11am like before or I can even leave right now Cool

Looks like pdxmonkey is out due to ankle injury. Bamboo you interested?

Let's meet at RR, then carpool to Dalton. I know everyone wants in on this, it's already 21mph gusting to 29 at Troutdale.

Wish I'd read this earlier so I would've gone for Dawn Patrole, but I guess it's a bit late for that now.

It might be smokin out there man. I am guessing its gusting to at least 40 on the water. Home Valley -> Stevenson might be a better downwinder option.

Haha, sounds like I might have to pull out my 9m since that would be too much for the 12m even on an Octane. I'm game for different spots. Just let me know when you can make it and I'm there.

Unless the Troutdale/Corbett sensors drop down considerably, I am thinking Camas around noon:

If I had more time I'd go to Home Valley but I got to pick up a buddy of mine from the airport at 4.

I don't know boo, you got to go check it out I guess Very Happy

When it was working there on 9's it was gusting 50+ at Corbett. So it might not be enough.

If you want the sure thing hit Home Valley -> Stevenson before 1pm.

Stevenson's also reading pretty gusty 10-28 (19 avg), but then what isn't today. I'm prob gonna bounce from work around 10, and will be out towards RR before 11. Bamboo, would you want to meet up there and scope it out. If it seems too much we can keep cruising to Stevenson/Homevalley. I'm PMing you my cell# just in case.

If you can ditch work a bit earlier and meet us at RR at 11 there should be plenty of time to ride whatever venue is best and still pick up your buddy with a few cold ones in the back Wink
