Our club provides numerous
activities in the following
categories. Most of them
have their own separate pages on
our web site:
a) Day trips to Mt.

(both weekend and mid-week)
currently on the
TRIPS page..
b) Ski trips
to other ski areas in the

d) Social events,
parties, etc. on
the
HOME page.
e) Summer
activities (Biking,

Our Home page is mainly a calendar
of events and a place to post
social events that don't have
their own separate pages, such as
Trips and Racing events
do.
To get a better view of what our
club does, please check the
ABOUT US page and the
PHOTOS page, which
shows almost everything we did in
the past year(s). Each season, we
start to build a new Photos page,
so if you are checking us out at
the beginning of the season, check
out one of the previous year's
Photos page, which will be more
complete.

Mt.

Trillium
Lake Bike Ride
NOTE: This
bike ride has been postponed
until next summer, 2021.
(Updated November 4, 2020.)
September 20,
2020 (Sunday). 10
am. -
POSTPONED
Government Camp, around Trillium Lake,
and back.
Meet at the ODOT
Highway Construction Center, on the
right side of Hwy. 26, just past the
Summit ski area exit and almost right
across from the start of Timberline
Road.
.
Route
Govy > Hwy 26 > E. Perry Vickers
Rd. or Barlow Road trail > Trillium
Lake Rd. > Trillium Lake
Return via bke path north of Trillium
Lake. > E. Perry Vickers Rd. >
Hwy 26 > Govy
Highlights
Ride through Still Creek Campgrounds,
Visit Summit Meadows Pioneer Cemetary,
listen to the Ghost of Perry Vickers.
Circle the lake along footpath.
Slight uphill after Trillium Lake.
The Mt High Board of Directors will
only approve bike rides this year that
are in a loop and no carpooling is
necessary, so we will be returning to
the Highway maintenance center from
where we started.
Route conditions and your bike
A mountain bike is recommended.
Beginners welcome. A commuter bike
with regular tires is OK. Very thin
tires are NOT recommended. An electric
assist bike is OK.
Our route will consist of a mix of
paved roads, a gravel road, a smooth
forest trail, and the Barlow Road
section is a dirt path full of rocks
and some roots in places. But we'll be
doing it mostly downhill.
Part of the path circling the lake
crosses a shallow water section with
wooden boards resting on stilts. A few
of the boards are damaged. So, in two
places, we will have to dismount and
walk our bikes over those boards.
Most of the rougher dirt
sections can be avoided,
since there is a paved road
nearby. Only a gravel road
section of about a mile in length
along Summit Meadows doesn't have an
easy alternative. We'll always tell
you about the alternate route in
advance, if you wish to avoid any of
the rougher sections.
Lunch
We will each bring our lunch, eat
somewhere in the vicinity of Trillium
Lake, most likely on the north end of
the lake, just before we leave the
lake. The goal is to bring a lunch
that makes everyone else jealous.
We'll keep a safe distance between
participants. You don't need to wear a
mask while riding or eating lunch, but
please do bring one for situations
where we might just socialize or stand
closer together for a photo
opportunity.
Participants required to sign
liability release that includes a
clause for covid risk of infection.
Please
RSVP if you are
coming. Contact either of
the two bike ride leaders:
