Shevlin Park, Central Oregon mountain biking
Rarely am I in front of the camera. But today, Angelique Valdez got some shots of me on one of my favorite trail rides in Bend — Shevlin Park loop. A fast sprint with a few rewarding climbs.
COTA’s Spring Fling Trail Building Party
Central Oregon Trail Alliance held it’s annual Spring Fling trail building party. Numerous well organized and equipped volunteers gathered in the woods on the outskirts of Bend to create the new Steve Larsen memorial trail. COTA has a grant to build 35 miles of single-track in the Wanoga complex within the next year, and is about half way there. Trail builders, under the leadership of lead builder Chris Kratsch, carved about 4 miles of trail during the few hour event, then finished the day with a BBQ and Deschutes brew at Pine Mountain Sports. COTA gathers every Wednesday at Pine Mountain Sports in the evening to build and maintain the growing network of trails in the Bend area.
