Umpqua 3 Day Adventure

August 6th, 2009

Riding in the Umpqua National Forest is a treat in itself, sharing it with people who have never been there is the icing on the cake.

Over the past weekend we had the pleasure of guiding 11 eager mountain bikers along the slithering trails that parallel the spectacular Umpqua River. Unfortunately there was a fire in nearby Glide, OR so we were unable to experience some of the lower half, but the infamous Dread and Terror section had the guests whooping for more.

After three days of epic riding, hot springs, bridge jumping, delicious energy food and beautiful scenery, everyone had a weekend to remember!

Allyson and her husband Peter from Napa were ecstatic, especially after Allyson expressed she pushed herself beyond what she thought was possible and is now committed to continuing her mountain biking adventures! Greg, Darren, Darin, Aaron, Kasey, Sherri, Ed, Steve and Billy all expressed their excitement and personal triumphs over the weekend. The North Umpqua Trail is awe-inspiring and leaves most people feeling accomplished and happy. Even the photos will inspire you… enjoy…
