Am I back in Switzerland?

I love riding in Oakridge. The trails feel relatively remote, little to no dust this time of year, and it's like being on a mini vacation. Derek and I rode Alpine Trail (though our plans were to do Tire Mtn. and Clover Patch instead). The climb up is almost exactly 8 miles to split after you take the frontage trail along the river out of Westfir for about three miles. So after 11 miles you traverse a bit and then hit the Alpine singletrack. The entrance was a bit muddy in spots and made cool squishy noises but then the rest was all dry. There are some steep little short hills and a couple slightly longer ones but for the most part you are on a downhill descent made for fun. The flowers are out everywhere and the meadows smell so good.

Enough words, how about some pics.


















This tree is funky. The branch to the right is growing it's own mini tree!
