400 miles of Oregon Singletrack Bliss
August 9th, 2008
The folks behind TopoFusion took a break from code monkeying (and from the Arizona heat) to tour the Cascades of Oregon.
We’re self supported bikepacking fanatics, and this trip was one of the best yet. 400 miles of singletrack, including the three legendary river trails: North Umpqua, Mackenzie and the Middle Fork of the Willamette. Oregon has some wonderful trails, and they we very well suited to bikepacking!
It was a long trip, so the journal is quite long. But it’s chock full of some amazing photos.
In three chapters, read along as we eat candy bars for dinner, get swarmed by mosquitoes so thick they blocked the sun, break our most valuable repair tool (5mm allen wrench) and, of course, enjoy many an endless mile of sinuous, beautiful trail.
