Great Autumn Mountain Bike Riding

Our last mountain bike ride was in the rain at Falls Creek. It rained for a couple days and we woke up to a cloudy morning. It was clear enough to see that Mt. Hood had received a dusting of new snow, the first of the season.

A few hours later, the clouds cleared and the sun came out making for a fantastic late autumn day. Because of the rain, the local trails that had been closed due to fire danger are now open. Haven’t been out on the neighborhood trails for a few weeks, with the recent rain, they are in great shape.

It was pretty much a perfect day for mountain bike riding. No dust, autumn colors and great views

Great to be back on the home trails again. While we were out riding, we discovered a new section of trail. When new trails appear around here, you have a pretty good idea who is making them. As expected, here is Steve, who is a master trailbuilder with CAMBA and HRATS, carving out some new singletrack.

Mountain biking is always great, today was no exception to the rule
