Cool, a rider and designated driver all in one! We like that! Though I have to say that the only time I ever really "refuse" to be a DD is when we're visiting the Benddistillery. Please mark down a Bend trip for Memorial Day weekend. We rent a house for the gang then.Originally Posted by Irulan
I don't think we'll make it back up there again this fall, but if you can get there the North Fork/Metolius-Windigo/Flagline loop which is only open after 8/15 (due to the elk breeding season) is incredible. Highest elevation mtbike ride I've done in that area and it was just gorgeous scenery when you lifted your eyes from the superb trails.

I'm so glad I saw this... I love the area... my ex-inlaws live on Riverfront by Mirror Pond... so I've spent lots of time up there... white water rafting the Deschutes and snowboarding Bachelor... Sisters is a cool little town too, isn't it?
congrats on those new record climbs... this makes me wanna buy a mtn bike!
btw- Bevmo carries Descutes beers... Obsidian Stout...mmmmmmm....
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

Black Butte Porter...
You have no idea how much of this I managed to drink in four months on an Oregon skifield! We knocked off work around 4/4.30 and the bus didn't go back down the hill until 5pm. Ah, happy memories...
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

Sweet!
By the by, do you realise that your 80 plus Empire State Buildings are in the vicinity of 3.4 Everests?
Figuring that out addled my brain a little, but I was way impressed!

Wow, that addles my brain also! Just think, yellow and caligurl and others of their kind have probably ridden atleast a dozen of them. So, how many feet for Everest? Originally Posted by tlkiwi
