A few weekends ago I headed down to Mountain Bike Oregon (MBO) for the day. Up at 4 AM and on the road a half an hour later for a 2.5 drive from Portland to Oakridge. The main priority of the day was to hang out with Nate Miller from Tasco MTB and serve coffee in his booth. After a few hours of doing so the vendor area was a ghost town since the reason why people come to MBO is for successive days of shuttled runs through some of the most epic trails that Oregon has to offer. By mid-morning the shuttle buses had all gone and there was only one thing to do ... go ride ourselves.
