Gorge Wind Forecast
Tuesday brings a round of east wind. Expect a couple hours of 20-25 from Rooster to Viento late morning. The wind goes light or even calm in the afternoon. Wednesday starts with light westerlies. Strong offshore high pressure drives afternoon westerlies at 18-23 from Stevenson to The Dalles. High pressure holds offshore on Thursday but also starts to build inland. Models are disagreeing… let’s call it calm wind to start with light westerlies later, but that’s subject to change.COAST, JONES, SAUVIE’S: Detailed forecast is on winter break.

While lower Syncline might be dry enough to ride today, it’ll be too windy to be pleasant. Above the fence line you will find freeze-thaw, especially on Hidden. Hospital Hill, Post, and Whoopdee will all have freeze-thaw in exposed areas. Please don’t ride through the mud. Turn around and go home and get your road or gravel bike so you don’t do permanent trail damage!Upcoming Events
