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.

Sam Clark and Kim McCormack are 11 days into their mountain bike adventure across Oregon. They've surpassed 450 miles on the way to their goal of reaching the Columbia River.

A big adventure launched itself today from southern border of Oregon.  Sam Clark and Kim McCormack have set out to ride across the state on mountain bikes, all the way north to the Columbia River. They hope to ride as much dirt as possible, sticking to trails and dirt roads.
