February 2017 in Hood River
It’s been quite a winter in the Hood River Valley and on Mt Hood National Forest. Record low elevation snowfall has kept us off our bikes longer than normal this year and, barring some drastic shift to warm and sunny weather, access to the 44 Trails mountain bike trails is going to be later than many of us are used to seeing.
Snow at the FR 44 / HWY 35 junction as of March 24
Nonetheless, we have some great projects lined up for the summer and want your help to make them productive! So here’s our tentative work schedule to add to your calendar and summer planning:
May TBA – Fund Raising Event in Hood River – more info to follow
Help us do some general maintenance on Charley’s Trail in Post Canyon!
Who is Charley? Charley LaVenture – mountain biker, surfer, father, husband, potter and much more – lived in Hood River from 1975-2009 following his passion life. He and his wife Sally touched many lives in HR and, sadly, Charley died in 2009 of a rare form of Leukemia. Charley inspired many of us with his love for life and family. Charley’s Trail is one small way we like to honor his memory. Read his obituary from the HR News
