Sold! So what should we ride, and perhaps shuttle on the other two days (a Sat & Sunday)... I was hoping for something bigger on Sat and then ease off on Sunday.
Can't wait to sample the Oakridge goodness!

>>
>> * Larison Creek - out and back - about 15 miles. Very technical the last 1/2 - and steep single track climbing. Insanely fun bomb once you reach the top
>>
>> * Warrior/Fitness along Salmon creek. The Fitness trail is cake - gravel/wood chip path - nothing special. Warrior on the S. side of Salmon creek is fun, technical
>>
>> * From Red Covered Bridge in Redfir - out and back on the North Fork of the Willamette.
>>
>> * Ride pavement/gravel up to Flat Creek - bomb down it - 3.5 miles - then Warrior back to town/Green Waters Park
>>
>> There are lots of other more Epic/big rides - but they all require more time than 3 hours -unless you get Randy and Oregon Adventure to shuttle you. Then a TON of insanely fun rides open up ...
>>
>> * Alpine
>> * Alpine/Chrome Toilet/Alpine
>> * Alpine/Tire Mountain/Cloverpatch
>> * Alpine Tire Mountain/Winberry Divide
>> * Heckletooth
>> * Moon Point (awesome!)
>> * Middle Fork
>> * Larison Rock
>> * top of Larison Creek
>> * Bunchgrass
>> * Hardesty/Lawler
>> * Lawler/Hardesty
>> * just Lawler or just Hardesty
>>
>> Plus tons of others that I can't think of off the top of my head. Check the Adventure Maps for the best MTB maps of the trails there:
