Moto Mouth Thu Feb 28, 08 10:07 am    Mountain Biking in Tillamook Forest? Has anyone recently been to Tillamook forrest? I wanted to go mountain biking today - wasn't sure if it would be mud bogging or not - we've had a lot of relatively warm and dry temps. Anyone know what the ground is like today? jdk Since 21 Dec 2005 333 Posts Obsessed Thu Feb 28, 08 11:25 am     was hiking at angel's rest last weekend and there was some mud so i'm assuming post canyon would be the same way. not sure about areas west of portland though... does anybody know if it's muddy out by coyote wall this time of year? syncline area i guess its called... sounds pretty sweet http://www.oregonlive.com/columbiagorge/oregonian/related.ssf?/columbiagorge/oregonian/040328coyotewall.html pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Thu Feb 28, 08 11:29 am     Syncline (aka suicide hill) whould be dry this time of year. It is mostly a downhill trail though. You can go FLYING down the lower parts of the trail. I recorded a speed of 53 on my computer there a couple years ago. The hikers just LOVE seeing bikes blow by at 50mph + LOL. Oh yeah, Tilamook this time of year... Tila-muck. jdk Since 21 Dec 2005 333 Posts Obsessed Thu Feb 28, 08 12:14 pm     Quote: It is mostly a downhill trail though. 50mph is hauling ass for sure does anybody ride up the hill? alien Since 01 Aug 2006 114 Posts Portland Stoked Thu Feb 28, 08 2:43 pm     Forest Park is still pretty sloppy, so I'm sure that Tillamook Forest is at least as wet if not wetter. There are areas of Syncline that you can ride as loops. Downhillers are just lazy. pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Thu Feb 28, 08 2:51 pm     alien wrote: Downhillers are just lazy. Uh huh, downhillers are lazy. Come up to Whistler this summer with us and descend 30,000' vertical feet of some of the gnarliest trails around in a single day and the decide if downhillers are lazy. Truth be told, we just don't like the look and feel of lycra Scribble Since 18 Nov 2005 636 Posts NoPo Addicted Thu Feb 28, 08 7:35 pm     I drove through Tillamook Forest last Sunday and there was still some snow on the ground at higher elevations so I would imagine it is very wet.

Hopefully it will dry up soon.        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
