All Day Riding : MBO Day 3
August 19, 2006
We rocked out in the beer garden last night after an excellent BBQ chicken dinner grilled up right here in camp. There were extreme videos projected on the wall of the amphitheater and plenty of cool, much-needed beer.
Today it's all about the shuttles. Camp is pretty much empty as riders are out on the trails. We're constant shuttles to Larison Rock, an awesome short, fast ride with an easy two-mile ride back into camp. 90% downhill on cross-country singletrack. It's only 4.5 miles of riding, but packed with excitement. Middlefork - the epic, far out, 45 miles of riding trail - sold out and full bus left camp at 8:30 this morning. We expects to see exhausted riders streaming back in throughout the afternoon.
So what do the riders think of the trails?
Well, I think one rider summed it up best when he rode back into camp looking for, as he put it, "That guy who planned the Alpine ride so I can hug him. That was the best trail I've ever ridden, where is that guy?"
Tonight it's a salmon bake and fresh corn, and of course another night of course more rocking out in the beer garden. If you're reading this, I bet you're not down here with us, and I bet you wish you were! Don't worry, there's always next year. And who knows, after selling out this year, maybe we'll even do two Mt. Bike Oregons.
