Just got back from a 5 day tour up in the Cascade mountains in central Oregon with an old friend. Although it was only 5 days, it was an epic journey involving riding world class singletrack while fully loaded, climbing for 30 straight miles to gain 5000 ft, drinking from super pure snow melt spring water, and camping amongst ancient trees and giant elk... absolutely amazing, I can't ever get over the wonder of Oregon.
I'm posting quite a few photos from the trip, sorry if it's overload....
