Dan Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hey Bryan, I've never been, but it's in my neighborhood and "free is a very good price." Want to rally the PDX carvers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to rally the PDX carvers? You read my mind Dan. There are a number of new alpine riders in the PDX area that I would love to introduce to some of the "Regulars". You be up for that?

Perhaps a post on last years MHM Ride board would reach more people? I will personally email some of the new riders and see if they can make it.

Dan Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hey Brian, I'm afraid I have to bow out. I initially misread the event listing and thought it was both Friday and Saturday -- I see now it's just Friday. I'm out of town until Friday and I now have some family stuff to take care of when I get back. If you do make it out there, please post your review of this year's Brr seasonal beer. That was the key draw for me, as you know fashion is not really my strong suit -- not sure the winter fashion show would have had much to offer me ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it is in Hillsboro. So I am doing the 1-1/2 + drive home every night in heavy traffic. Ends up being better than a 12 day. Having not worked in months, it is a bit of a shock:eek: I think I am going to just relax when I get home for the next few weeks. Not having done construction work for a while , it is kicking my ass pretty good. Interesting, intense work, amazing site and great guys to work with. Enjoy the family!!

thebionicman Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Cool, give us a reminder. Where are you staying? Portland , Hood River? Going up weekdays? Know your way around? Bryan I'll probably ride a during the weekdays. I am staying in Portland at a buddies place. I am getting a rental car so I can get around. Though while actually in Portland having a car is pretty much not needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
