Finally got a chance to hit one of our favorite trails; Old Man Pass/Falls Creek in Skamania County, WA. This is a great area, crisscrossed with a number of challenging mountain bike trails.
I was a “Locals Special” ride with Jeff Logosz of Slingshot Sports, who make some of the best kiteboarding and wakeboarding gear in the world and Don Stevens with Gorge Delights, a local company that makes the Gorge Delights and Just Fruit bars that are so popular with cyclists.
Don managed to blow out the rear shock of the hardest working bike in the MTB business so it looks like a shock rebuild is coming up in the next few days.
Met a nice couple from the Virgin Islands who had rented a VW camper and were on a mountain bike vacation. What a change of scenery that must be!
Looks like another nice week coming up. Saw a few fishing boats around the local rivers on the way to go mountain biking, maybe the steelhead fishing is picking up. It’s been pretty windy and I’ve been really lagging on getting out there and shooting some kiteboarding, so I’ll have to motivate and work on that. The nice summer months go by really quickly around here.
