Look! Proof that we occasionally hit the trail early. I was overly excited and awoke at an uncivilized hour. It’s not every day you have a new peak to climb, accessible by bike/foot right from ‘home.’ Alpine(ish) starts are a good idea when heading above treeline in Colorado, too. did you know ….

Let’s continue on with the second half of the photo reel. Part one left us at Oakridge, roughly halfway through the loop. big tree went boom The route hits some deep wooded singletrack, a very pleasant 98 degree ‘warm’ spring, and some roads, leaving town. Paved roads aren’t the first choice …. [Continue reading]

A few hours ago we pretty much completed the loop, reaching the top of the Mrazek trail, which is a heavily ridden and mostly downhill ride into Bend. We could have been done in a few short and easy hours. But, we are not done! We have our biggest climb yet, and the centerpiece (literally) …. [Continue reading] 
Coming into Sisters today, we both independently realized that the route had somehow ended up almost entirely singletrack for the last day or so. We hadn’t really planned on any from the end of McKenzie all the way to Sisters. Yet, that’s the way it played out, as we coasted at 10mph on smooth trail ….
