Sorry about needing to bail

Sorry about needing to bail everyone.  Been having some bad lower back issues for the first time in my life.  Taking it easy and woke up saturday morning extremely stiff.  Chopping on trails would of been a very bad idea

He suggested those interested in carpooling meet at 8am at Gateway.  I will be driving a red Toyota 4runner with 'share the road' plates.

Meet at Gateway: 8 AM for carpool

I would suggest the south parking lot.  It is the one that NE Pacific goes into.  Plan to leave no later than 8:15 to be at the trail head on time.

I will not be there as Gateway is out of the way for me.

I have to be back in PDX about the same time as Joe but count me in also.  

  Where is the meetup

by Joe Rykowski - 2009-11-09 15:23

 

Where is the meetup point?   Going to the link for Homestead Road puts me someplace in Kansas (dude, I don't think we are in Kansas anymore...)...

If people need to leave after the building is done, will that be possible?  Need to be back to Portland by 2pm-ish (so would have to be down off the trail by 1pm - guess that's my prob but just thought I'd ask... if we'll be able to drive vehicles close to the project site or what.)

Hi, new member/newish rider.  I might have rode with some of you at the middle fork ride this summer.  I  can meet at gateway and transport 1 extra and 1 extra bike.  My first day of trail maintenance!
