I have to agree with Dave, the Ochocos are really special. I was riding
out there this past weekend thinking how much the area is like Bend was
before all the crowds "discovered" it. It has it all, the previously
mentioned great singletrack, quiet back roads perfect for CX bike
explorations and scenic paved routes. Imagine this - in over three hours
of CX riding on Saturday (the Fourth of July) I saw not even one moving
motor vehicle. When was the last time you had that much of the road to
yourself?
The Crush will be one of the best rides you'll do all year. Don't miss
it. In fact, bring several of your bikes and make a weekend out of it.
