Mountain Bike Oregon Details


 


 

“It’s like you take all the inconvenient parts of a mountain biking weekend and do it all for us.
You scope out the trails—we ride them; you shuttle up—we bomb down; you cook—we eat;
you tap the kegs—we drink the beer. Everyone is super friendly and super helpful,
and the riding is just amazing!”

 

—MBO Client

 


 

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

 

Mountain Bike Oregon features three fully supported days of incredible single-track riding in Oakridge, Oregon. You choose which ride you want to do each day, then either board one of our classic school buses to be shuttled to the trailhead, or join one of the guided rides from camp.

  • Camping along the beautiful Willamette River
  • Showers 
  • Hot breakfasts and dinners
  • Delicious lunch fixings for you to make for your day on the trail
  • Free Oregon micro-brew beer and wine in the adult beverage garden
  • Nightly fun and games, including the famous MBO beer garden crit
  • Daily yoga sessions

Other Lodging Options 

A note from Randy, MBO Promoter and owner of Oregon Adventures:

 

“One of the many hats I wear in Oakridge is serving as the Executive Director of the Oakridge/Westfir Area Chamber of Commerce. Since Oakridge is a small town, it does not have a tourism department, so the Chamber of Commerce is in charge of tourism. By joining the Chamber, businesses show they support biking and tourism, so we ask that you please support them. For your lodging needs, please go to: www.oakridgechamber.com” 

 

Thanks,

Randy Dreiling
