Three Corner Rock (event)
Submitted by wdrwmn on Fri, 10/03/2008 - 7:46am.Sorry this is so late, but I wanted to get it up in case anybody that I don't have their contact info for, and wants to go, doesn't feel left out.
We are meeting at the gateway TC at 9am.
The ride: lots and lots of switchbacks! I have never done this ride before, but hear it is a grunt, so be prepared to climb. By looking at the people interested so far it will be at a pretty fast pace. Also, we will be doing the ride as an out and back not a loop as indicated in the description below.
Mount Rainier (blog)
Submitted by Jordan on Tue, 09/30/2008 - 4:58pm.Over the weekend Brooke, Chris S., Cecily and I travelled up to the Mount Rainier area of Washington State. We rode the Palisades and Sun Top (which contains part of the Skooum Flats Trail) trails. These were amazing! Some the very best and hardest trails I have ever ridden! These trails are IMBA epics and I see why.

Friday Morning Aerobic Conditioning (event)
Submitted by NoCo_Riders on Tue, 09/23/2008 - 7:43pm.There's a trail system that weaves around through LaCamas Lake Park and Round Lake Park just outside of Vancouver (between Vancouver and Camas).
It's a great place to get some morning fresh air and crank out some aerobic conditioning. Some hill repeats are in the works too...
Anyway, if anyone wants to log about 2 hours of Friday morning riding at a 'brisk pace', please contact Chris at northofcolumbia@yahoo.com
Riding at 5min to 9!

"Capitol Punishment".......Capitol Forest (event)
Submitted by OldHouseMan on Mon, 09/15/2008 - 3:43pm.Come join us for this 40 mile "Capitol Punshiment" ride. We have this one honed to almost perfection. This ride has just about everything to offer from buff singeltrack to a twisty, rooty, burmed downhill off the top of Capitol Peak. The climbs aren't long or steep but expect to climb a lot.

Three Corner Rock Work Party (event)
Submitted by SnakeMuesl on Fri, 09/05/2008 - 8:48pm.The Washington Deparment of Natural Resouces is planning a work session to get this fine trail cleared after a few years of neglect. Last year's wind storms wreaked havok on the upper sections. They will provide a saw operator and are looking for volunteers to swamp for the sawyer and help with brushing and treadwork.
Three Corner Rock is a great trail close to the Portland-Vancouver area and is in need of some love and attention.
