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.

 

Once you arrive at MBO, we take care of everything. Your pass includes:

  • 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 adult beverage garden featuring Oregon craft beer and wine
  • Nightly fun and games, including the famous MBO beer garden crit
