End location: Rocky Butte
Listen up, you physics-defying daredevils! We're about to unleash a ride that'll make Newton question his laws. Buckle up for the PDX Gravity Gauntlet! Nobody Showed with me and my Guy So we didn't wait more than 5 mins. Last Chance then we separate from your Society of bikes.. The Route: 1. Mount Scott Summit (1,093 ft elevation) 2. Extreme Descent Trail with mega jumps and log rides 3. I-205 Springwater Corridor sprint 4. Division Street climb to Mount Tabor 5. Tabor volcanic descent 6. Gateway mountain bike jump course 7. Rocky Butte north side wrap 8. Final ascent to Rocky Butte summit Physics Breakdown (20 Rider Edition): 1. Total Potential Energy at Start: 5,221,440 Joules 2. Cumulative G-Force Exposure: 4,400 G-seconds 3. Peak Group G-Force: 100G (5G per rider x 20) 4. Total Energy Expenditure: 209,200,000 Joules (50,000 kCal) 5. Cumulative Airtime: 10-13.3 minutes 6. Total Fluid Loss: 20-40 liters Key Features: - 25-30 ft mega launches - 50 ft log rides with 15 ft drops - High-speed berms generating 2G lateral forces - Cumulative elevation change: 1,500+ ft Remember, you gravity-defying geniuses: This isn't just a ride, it's a mobile physics lab with you as the test subjects! PDX GRAVITY GAUNTLET WAIVER OF PHYSICS AND COMMON SENSE By embarking on this insane journey, you acknowledge: 1. You're voluntarily becoming a human projectile. 2. The laws of physics are more like polite suggestions on this ride. 3. Your hydration pack should be bigger than your ambitions. 4. Neither the trail systems nor any known scientific principles are responsible for your gravitational misadventures. Ride hard, defy gravity, and may the forces be ever in your favor! Now go forth and make Einstein proud (or terrified)!
