Riders in the fog

Chris loves to climb

singlespeeders stand more

coming down Saddleblanket

Back into the woods

Hang loose, dude!

Chris passes Elk Shelter

Steve follows

Candy sweeps

Cruising down the chrome toilet

Candy enjoying the descent

The clouds kept kissing the trail

a few minutes too late

last descent, thru the jedi

vine maple

Candy again

It was the best ride of the summer

SSconny · 10-19-2005

Great shots Sas! Looks similar to my ride on the east side of Hood, but only better. Gotta love Alpine!
The colors up there are starting to pop...

SSconny-

kawboy8 · 10-19-2005

Where is that? Awesome shots.

cazloco · 10-19-2005

All I got to say is that I'm frick'n glad that I ride with you because it would suck to have to look at these photos and know that I missed a great ride! I've said it before and I'll say it again, "This is our backyard".

vuduvgn · 10-19-2005

I finally got around to posting some pics of our trip to Oregon.

you can ignore the politico content if you want.

**shiggy** · 10-19-2005

Fabulous shots, Sas. Some of the best I have seen of Alpine.

BTW summer ended a month ago

That is just too nice. Thanks for the "Buzz-worthy" spread.

Yeah, when I first saw the sweet sun beams, I pulled over, and scouted out a place to take a good shot of the riders coming thru. Then I sat there and waited for like five minutes, as the fog began to blow away, lessening the effect. The first pic was after it faded significantly, and by the time the riders came thru, it barely showed up on the camera. It was too bad I didnt snap a few shots as soon as I pulled over, when the shafts of illuminated fog cut thru the trees like lasers.

Yes Shiggy, it's your front yard, side yard and back yard, there's no reason to rub it in.

And yes, everybody is welcome to come play in our back yard.

jollybeggar · 10-20-2005

If there were any doubts that Oakridge has the best singletrack any where, these photos lay them all to rest.

Nice pics of the perfect trail.

Hey Shiggy, it's time to mow your lawn, and rake up the leaves. I'll expect you to take care of it by this weekend.

This looks so amazing. This is in Oregon? I want to plan a trip up north (from California) where is this exactly! Unless I have come upon some sort of secret spot situation.

thanks

jollybeggar · 10-21-2005

No plans for Barbie Camp but thanks. I'm hoping to be in shape for the next ACM at Whypass. Getting plenty of fun in the mud over here on the coast. I'd love to come over and do a ACM in Oakridge with you guys in the spring.

Again thanks for the awesome pics, they're inspirering.

Happy Trails
Terry

and ~20 of the 500+ miles of trail we have in the area. MTB Oregon happens in August with guides, shuttles and general fun. Or just come up and ride. Most of the trails are open May-early November.

SSconny-

I'm still waiting to see you start posting some photos. I expected you to take your photo skills out into the woods, instead of wasting them on getting paid.

Careful of tempting too many californians to your state! I hear it is getting out of control. One of the reasons I plan to visit is all the friends of mine who have moved to Portland.
Those photos are so beautiful, thanks for the details. I will look into that race too.

Come on up! As many Californicators can move here as they want. Just need to bring jobs with them.

I did a trip to Oregon last year. Head up the coast and do Prairie Crk Redwood state park in Cali, work your way over to the Umpqua, head off to Oakridge, zip over to Bend and finish in Mt. Hood. Oh Lordy!!! Dog River and Surveyors ridge.(drooool) and Alpine*sigh* I get all sentimental and wistful just thinking about it. I have some of my pic's posted under "I like posting photo's" but these photo's here are STUNNING!! Thank you for posting them!
