The first annual Mt Hood Super D is officially going down on Sept 12th and 13th. Hosted by Timberline Lodge, Momentum Bikes, Monster Energy, Fluidride and Hurricane Racing. This truly amazing race will start at the historic
Timberline Lodge and descend down the sandy, rocky and slightly rutted 'Glade Trail' and then traversing above Government Camp's 'Cross Town Trail' to the very exhilarating 'Pioneer Bridal Trail' ending at the 'locals only' tunnel. Estimated length is over 8 miles and times should be around 14-18 minutes of bike riding bliss. Bring your fitness and big lungs.
