Bend Trip

This trip will cover the best of Bend and will have many of the rides that Evergreen has done over the years with Bob Bournique, who can't commit to attend now.  This is a multi-day event and will be very social.  It is easy to put in many fast miles in at Bend, for anyone who has not been there yet. Rides will typically be ~ 30 miles but they will be EASY miles. This will be a good introduction to Bend's rides.  We will camp out a 1/2 mile past Phil's trailhead and camping will be primitive.  This is very close to town and allows visits to Bend's renowned breweries, restaurants, Turkish hottubs etc.  Weather will be a deciding factor on the riding that will be done but the intention will be to alternate longer with shorter rides.  Given the lack of snow, there may be some options for higher country riding that should not be missed.  An initial ride plan

Wednesday:  COD/Funner/Tiddlywinks/River Trail

Thursday:Newberry Crater (imagine riding around Crater lake by mt Bike and you have Newberry, this will be a shuttle out of Bend 30 miles)

Friday:  Bachelor/Happy Valley/Mrazek

Saturday:  Ben's out to Storm King and back COD   OR Around Bachelor (which ir more rugged and backcountry)

Sunday: Gray Butte or for the more adventurous Mackenzie River

These are the initial ideas, there are many more options to make sure that no one misses their favorite rides.
