Summer Riding
Summer Riding.
This seasons riding has been top notch. A wet and long winter let to full rivers, and plenty of moisture to keep the ferns, oregon grape, and vine maple green throughout the summer.
We've had a great but early blackberry season, and now the huckleberries are popping out in force at high elevation.
There are literally hundreds of miles of single track trail within about 30 miles of our shop, and over the winter lots of trees and branches fall across the trail. Thanks to the countless, and counted hours of work by the Disciples of Dirt, local volunteers and the Forest Service the trails are cleared of debris each year, and by the early fall almost all of the trails are finally totally open.
So this time of year we like to enjoy the onset of cool weather, the absence of mosquitos at high elevation, and the turning of the leaves, as the trails dry out and we all prepare for the rain.
The pictures posted here are from a few of the local trails closest to Oakridge (within 10 miles of the shop!)
Come on by or give us a call to get the lowdown on what's riding good.
