Descrição do livro

Central Oregon rides differently from anywhere else, and the reason is underfoot. Volcanic pumice drains fast, holds a tyre in a way hardpack does not, and turns to talcum dust by August. Understanding that soil explains the trail network, the season, and why a bike set up for the Pacific Northwest is not quite set up for Bend.

The book covers the network trail by trail. Phil is Trailhead and the westside system that most riders see first. Wanoga and Tiddlywinks and the shuttle descents. Whoops and Funner and what riding flow well actually requires. The long climbs out to Mrazek, Farewell and the high country. Horse Butte, Swamp Wells and the desert east side that stays rideable when the snow line drops. Sisters, Peterson Ridge and the Metolius country, plus Mount Bachelor Bike Park.

Seasons get a chapter of their own, because the snow line moves through the network in both directions each year, and knowing where it sits in May or October is the difference between a great week and a wasted drive.

The last chapters handle setup for pumice, including tyres, suspension and dealing with dust, day trips and bigger objectives beyond the core network, and the practical business of building a trip around a town that has become one of the best riding bases in the country.
