    Bougie Backwoods Vacation Curing the End-of-Season Blues in Oregon

    • Series Page

    Last October, the Free Radicals and three friends spent a week in the backwoods of Oregon, searching for an antidote to their end-of-season blues. Throughout the hunt, their daily agenda evolved into a pattern: Drive out of cell service; keep driving. Pedal several hours to the top of a mountain; bask in the views and solitude of the wild. Turn your bike downhill and ride faster than you ever thought possible, because you know your friends are doing the same thing right behind you. It turns out living, laughing, riding and celebrating as if all else is irrelevant provides the purest cure.

    Day three was cancelled due to torrential rain. The weather cleared a few days after the race, and we rode what would have been the final course, Wakamarina track. This bar at the bottom of the trail would make a great investment for someone, as we surely aren’t the only delirious mountain bikers to stumble in here post-ride and order the whole menu.
