That's funny. We almost signed up for that trip with Western Spirit, but decided that now that we have an SUV, we could do it on our own. We did the Umpqua River Trail with Western Spirit back in 2005. Our guides and the food were quite good as well.

Yeah, the elevation really got to me too. But it's such a spectacular place to ride. We're thinking we'll make it an annual trip. We camped at Locust Point but decided that North Timp had better views and we'll camp there next time and just drive to Locust to ride.
