It’s very gloomy looking out there this morning, but the big blog of moisture on the radar isn’t headed our way. That means, if you’re a mountain biker or dirt biker, you have no excuse for being anywhere but Post Canyon today. It’s fundraiser shuttle day ($40 at the base of Post Canyon Road), and it’s also work party day on the 140 trail. If you work on the 140 trail, you’re going to create the final link that will allow you to ride from the bottom of Post to the top of Borderline, all on singletrack. That’s a fine reason to join the work party.

Today is also the HRVHS gear swap. This evening is 2nd Wind’s Hot Pub Time Machine party at the British Pub. Tomorrow is the Columbia Gorge Marathon. Condit Dam comes out next Wednesday (which really ruins my plans for a week of biking in Bend., but watching the dam go is more important).

In wind world, this front swinging through will give us gusty 13-15 today, with a chance of 20ish (but not more) this afternoon. High pressure builds off the coast tomorrow, for west wind in the 5-10 range early, building to 21-24 from Mosier to Maryhill in the afternoon. Monday brings 15-18 early, fading in the afternoon.

Finally, name the Hood River Sandbar. Voting is open through tomorrow.

Have an awesome day today!

Looks like we’ll see west wind today and tomorrow in the 13-15 range as a couple of fronts swing through. We might even see some 21-23 out east tomorrow afternoon. We’ll also see .1” or so of rain overnight tonight into tomorrow morning, with a few sprinkles tomorrow morning. West wind will pick up a bit more Sunday afternoon in the 17-21 range.

This weekend is jam-packed with events. Just announced yesterday is yet another work party in Post Canyon. Bring yourself and your snacks to Binn’s Hill Staging Area at 9am on Saturday. We’ll be working on the section of the 140 trail that received a clearcut this year. This is the section of 140 that parallels the 130 and 133/Borderline. Linking this trail will make riding from the bottom of Post to the top a lot more fun. Trust me on this one: whether you’re a mountain biker or dirt biker, you want to be at this work party.

Sadly, the work party conflicts with both the HRVHS gear swap and the Post Canyon Shuttle Day. Sign up for the shuttle day ahead of time if you want food. All proceeds benefit the trailbuilders’ fund (no, your tax dollars are not the reason we have MTB trails in Post Canyon). Sunday is the Columbia Gorge Marathon, but you already knew that if you’re doing it, right?

Of course, I don’t want to forget the Name the Hood River Sandbar contest. As of last night, there was nothing on the HRN website saying when the contest is over, but according to a friend’s FB page, you have until October 23rd to vote. That’s Sunday.

And most importantly, Condit Dam comes out next Wednesday. Can you believe it?

Have an awesome day today!
