Trip to Willamette Pass for downhill mountain biking...
Went to Willamette Pass (about 2 hours south of Salem) with group of friends...
Top of gondola at Willamette Pass - READY TO RIDE! Travis, Sean (behind Travis), TracE, Rich, April, and Todd (foreground)
We took a van and hauled the bikes using Rich's trailer...
I brought my Nikon D70, but only took pictures during one of the runs (down the Sport Course). Most of the time, spent riding the trails...
It sure gives ya plenty of riding time when you can take the gandola to the top! Was great practise at downhill skills. Really important to "not ride the bike, but ride the trail"! It's all about becoming one with the bike, and flowing down the technical downhill trails... looking beyond where you are and just doing what needs to be done! So fun...
Can't wait to get up to Whistler next week for some more downhill lift-assisted fun!
Going to the 2006 IMBA Summit and World Mountain Bike Conference in Whistler, B.C. from June 19 - 25th. Going to be spending some time riding as well!
