So with the snow not wanting to melt here in Bend, a whole bunch of us decided to go camping and riding in Oakridge for the weekend. I was super excited, because we got April Lawyer to leave her store for a while to come shredding with us. She still kills it on a bike even though she has been slaving away at her super dope clothing boutique here in Bend. Continue reading ‘Oakridge trail riding mania!’
Well, I’d have to say that this was one of the most competitive “grassroots” races I’ve ever attended.
