Calling all Mountain bikers for Kingdom Trails on Sept 20th.
We will not have transportation but will need a couple big rigs for bikes and bodies.
25 mile Mountain bike loop over the coolest terrain. Fun singletrack, smooth pace.
Early AM departure meeting at Newport Rec. Ride then eat.

I'd love to, but I don't think I can get the day off from work.

I'm in, so additional transport (7 bikes, 4 grownups) is availiable if needed.
Kingdom trails is well worth anything you need to do to go on the ride. Ken, I'll write you a Dr.'s note. Or we can just abduct you.

I also have a trailer for transport (4 or 5), but only four seats in the van.
So, we will ride Kingdom Trails early, then ride Lear Hill Loop that afternoon?

Jiminy Crickets! This has the makings of an adventure. I just found the map of our last year trip, and it looks good. We need to next find the watering hole for post ride. There is a Trout Brook something or other up there. Remember 7 bucks to help keep the trails and maps circulating.

sorry Dana, I knew that........ How about rigs......
Currier 5-6 bikes, 4 people
Gurney 5-6 bikes 4 people
Probably can get one more vehicle for another 4-5 people and maybe 1-2 bikes, Waterman had a trailer, but I don't think we need it.
maybe O'neill? I can transport bodies and 2 bikes if need be.

5 people can travel with me comfortably. I could use more fork mounts to attach to my trailer so no bikes need to lay down. I have two, I believe PJ has two, if I can borrow two more we will be golden.

Seven bikes in the Gurney rig (nine if I get two more mounts) but only four total passengers. The one who sits behind me should not be the tallest in his class. Maybe instead of lunch, the passengers can spot me a few seconds in the overall standings...?

I have been telling every MTBiker that I know, that hasn't been to Kingdom Trails this year, to go and ride Sidewinder.

Do you need an excavator PJ?
Seems that some of that area under the root corner might be good for a couple turns with different approaches than we currently have. A logical approach would be to look for a dranage location at lower elevation and follow it up. We'll find quite a few spots I think once we startr looking.
