Oakridge is awesome. There are enough trails here to keep a person occupied for a lifetime. If you don’t have that much time, come ride with us for a few days and let us show you around our stomping grounds. We’ll do some shuttling, some adventure riding, visit the pub and relax by the river.
Day 0
Meet the group at Cog Wild Headquarters in Bend and travel to Oakridge. After setting up camp along the Willamette River, we’ll jump on a shuttle for a shakedown ride to stretch our legs and make sure the bikes are working well. Meet and greet happy hour at 5 PM, followed by dinner. We’ll continue getting to know each other around the campfire then rest for a big day of riding. Riders are welcome to meet at the campsite in Oakridge.
Mileage: 10ish miles
Day 1
Get ready for a shuttle fest! We’ll ride Hardesty, Lawler, Eula and more if you still feel strong! A refreshing dunk into the amazing swimming holes on the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Willamette will prepare our bodies for another full day of riding.
Mileage: 15 to 25 miles
Day 2
Today’s the adventure day: we’ll travel to Oakridge’s outer limits to ride high country trails. No shuttles on this one, prepare for a long day in the saddle, hike a bike sections and screaming fast descents.
Mileage: 15 to 25 miles
Day 3
After breaking camp, we’ll ride the classic Alpine Trail or ATCA if the group feels like they want more. After a farewell cheers, the van will return to Bend and we’ll return to the world refreshed and content from multiple days of riding and being in nature.
Mileage: 14 to 26 miles
