Craig has been talking about coming out here to ride some trails with tree's for a few years now. Well. he finally stopped talking and started driving. I met up with him on thursday night in Hood River and we hung out at family man hitting some of the drops and stunts waiting until Flying J showed up so we could get ready for our night ride. Straight to the top on the muddy road. Night time downhilling is real fun. Especially for Craig. New trail at night. No crashes so we got back to camp, burned some books and goofed around until around 1:30 am. Up at 6:30 to do it again and Craig say's " Wow this is kinda scary" about the trail once it was light. Not scary at night I guess. After that we headed over to Syncline on the Washington side for a quick run. Getting hot and dry over there. Back to our place for MTB movies and burritos then up early to head to Falls City and the Black Rock trails. Dirt was perfect and we must have had 17 people riding with us. Craig was stepping it up and hitting some cool drops. Otto had a hard crash and sprained his ankle( but is ok now as I write this) . We hit most of the fun trails and then all the air went out of the day when some girl had a bad crash at Basic training. Landed on her head went out on a back board. not good. Most of our group left when they saw that. Craig and I and a few others did one more run so we could leave with a better memory. Back to my place for homemade pizza and mtb movies. Up early-ish to ride Brad's trail. One run then Craig's Amber alert van got a flat tire. Day over. After getting back to town and getting no good deals on fixing a tire within the day he risked it and headed east. Great weekend with minimal crashes. Makes for a long work week.
