Ellsworth Rides Weekend – Huge Success!!
August 21st, 2009
This past weekend was the first annual weekend of its kind with Cog Wild. We had 17 riders join us including Tony Ellsworth, Chevy who welds all the frames and Dave who manages the bikes being built. It was a blast and we can’t wait until next year. Here are some photos:

Rider meeting – see where we will all be riding
We rode three days: Mt Bachelor to Lava Lake, Charlton Lemish Loop and Flagline back to Bend. The second and third ride were perfect – beautiful climbs through huge trees dripping with moss and long downhills that went on for days and days. Some riders did the hike to the top of the twins and enjoyed the screaming downhill.
Evenings around camp had some fun surpises that all will have to join a multi-day tour with Cog to find out about. Thanks to Deschutes Brewery we had some great beer to enjoy after a post-ride dip in Little Cultus Lake and our chef Paul made sure no one went hungry.
All in all, it was a fabulous weekend! We are already planning new routes for Friday and thinking of what we can do better. Hope to see you there!!

Trip was amazing! The Cogwild crew made sure we didn’t go hungry or get lost you couldn’t ask for a better guide service. 2nd day had to be my favorite even though it was the hardest.
