The Pacific Northwest has some of the best mountain biking in the world. It may not have the best “spot”, but if you spent a couple weeks here, the total package is pretty unbeatable. The big variable is Mother Nature; the weather pretty much dictates what is going on. The tail end of the 2012-13 … Read more

A couple straight days of heavy rain has brought to an end an incredible run of nice late winter weather here in the Pacific Northwest. Usually, the weather is endlessly wet and cold, but the past couple years, especially this one, have been drier and milder than normal. A wet spring may last until August, … Read more

The weather was pretty good this weekend for the most part, although depending on where you were in the Gorge it could be sunny, rainy and/or windy at any given time. Many of the local trails are still muddy, but it’s been dry enough for a few of the “wet weather” trails to be rideable … Read more

It usually rains a lot here this time of year, not so much this year, but anyway, the first place to dry out is The Syncline. The soil is pretty rocky, so it drains quicker than dirt, there are a couple creeks that run down the side of the mountain that help drain the water … Read more

We’ve had a mix of sun, rain and snow the past few days, today we have sun and clear blue skies. It’s a little on the cool side as this latest storm front blows on through, but after a few days cooped up in the house, it’s nice to get outside again. Too muddy for … Read more

Took a bit of time, sorry about that, but the photos taken during the July and August Mountain Bike Oregon have been posted on the WatermanAtWork.com website. Link to the 2012 MBO photos

The weather forecast continues to call for rain and snow, but it continues to remain dry here in the Pacific Northwest. Today was cloudier and cooler than it has been for the past couple weeks and the wind started to kick up. A quick look at the Portland, OR weather radar shows rain on the … Read more

The weather forecast for rain and/or snow last night turned out to be mostly wrong, it was cold but no rain or snow. This unbelievable winter weather is not going to last forever so, if you can, get outside and take advantage of it, even for a few minutes. Had to hit the trails, so … Read more

The unbelievably nice weather continued through the past weekend, near 60° and sunshine. Sunday we headed out west to the Tillamook State Forest for some mountain bike riding in the Coastal Mountains of Oregon. It wasn’t as sunny near the coast as it was in the Gorge, but partly sunny with a few scattered, light … Read more
