We set out not really knowing what to expect. Our goal was to clear a good chunk of the Bear Creek and Winter Rim sections of the Fremont National Recreation Trail. We had heard reports of "pick up sticks", "log piles", "completely overgrown", and "impossible to find." All proved to be correct.

Oregon Timber Trail Association and Route Introduction

Oregon Timber Trail Association and Route Introduction

We're excited to share the Oregon Timber Trail route and Association (OTTA) with you. It's a large complex concept with a vision for Oregon's future as a leader in recreation. We've spent 18 months developing the Timber Trail thus far and identified the need for a statewide organization to continue shepherding its timeline. We'll introduce the OTTA board, development progression, and how you can get involved. And most importantly we'll share the route, riding logistics, stories from the field, and how you can ride it yourself.

Behind the scenes the Oregon Timber Trail has gone through a great amount of formative progression since the concept's birth in late 2015. If you're interested in learning about the in-depth process we've facilitated with land managers and key stakeholders throughout the state you can download our full report at the link below.

Things will go awry, eventually. Accidents happen and people get hurt. Whether or not you are prepared to deal with the situation in a constructive manner is up to you. This isn't about building the perfect First Aid Kit, it's about education and utilizing the best medical tool you have: your brain.

When Kim McCormack and Sam Clark rolled their wheels into the refreshingly cold waters of the Columbia River, they had set the stage for the “OTT”, an iconic route that will be launched in January of 2017. Worthy of adding to any mountain biker's bucket list, this inspirational route covered a variety of climates, communities, ecosystems, roads, jaw-dropping landscapes. In the future, enthusiastic mountain bikers will enjoy their own Oregon Timber Trail adventures. Some will tackle the route in segments while others might ride it in its entirety and follow in the wheel tracks of Sam and Kim.

When Sam Clark and Kim McCormack dipped their wheels in Columbia River last Friday August 5, becoming the first two people to complete the Oregon Timber Trail route, they were ecstatic, relieved, and…..hungry! After riding for two and a half weeks with only one rest day, the duo was ready to dump their gear-loaded packs and celebrate with some serious calories.
