Made the trek to central Oregon again sunday to ride the Dez. Found a bunch of great stuff and several trails I had not tried, good ones too. 5 in the group this weekend. Ripping it up good, lots of variety and no crashes. Real fun day. Adjusted the 511 for some dez (slower steering / stiffer suspension) and it once again rocked. Fast and fun. prepped and ready for battle Lets do this Blake and his CRF (he also brought his new 165 out) Some great views on a perfect day Even found some technical stuff Blake beating his new CR165 into submission Brandon and the mighty YZ290 Fun day
Great shots, especially Crooked River Canyon and Prineville reservoir! Have you checked out Cline Buttes, much closer, especially for one day trips.
Wish I new you were headed to Millican Plateau would of hooked up. We ended up riding Cline Buttes. I have not rode there since 94. Good stuff some technical single track. Great weekend to ride. Give a shout out next time you head over
There were times in the past when we rode up into GPNF early in the year (~July\AUG)and saw where the snow level was at and when we returned back down, we would inform the rangers the snow had receded and they needed to open the gates so we could access some areas ... -- That's a cement dam? Its color sure fits in well with its surroundings ... Looks almost like rock or dirt from a distance ...
Yes indeed. For anyone coming over this weekend we had some rain this week and should be epic conditions.
Tempted as I have a new to me 83 XC500 to try out but the weather here is supposed to be nice saturday so will probably just ride the coast range.
There are crews of us logging the trails out months before that now. We head up the minute you can gain access up there and start the yearly work. Big thanks to buddies Rollie and Jake who do a ton of work up there every year and have thier saw mounts on for 4-5 months a year.
Friend of mine from Bend was riding China Hat this weekend and had a head on with a guy from Aberdeen Wa. Both had non life threatening injury's but were taken to the hospital. Not sure of the details or the damage. Be safe out there.
Both myself, Brandon and Ryan all had head ons out there a few years ago resulting in hospital time. Thats why I like to ride there on week days. 4 corners is not quite as bad as far fewer trees. Less fun too though.
4 corners is even higher speeds. Although there all fast in central Oregon. I found out some more info. My friend has a concussion, six stitches in his chin and a swollen hand. The other guy has a broken Femur. It sheared his steering stem right off and crushed his exhaust. I bet there is even more damage yet discovered.
