Great place to ride if not on fire or raining. Lived in Orygun for three in Eugene and road m @$$ off in the surrounds. It’s a great state of mind. Welcome

Hi - I'm in Portland, and having grown up between Seattle, Portland and Vancouver, I will agree that Oregon is amazing, even given the recent fires. You can ride anything, all year, and find something new.

I love it here . Lots of trees I'm in grants pass. Been too smoky here to ride much of late but it finally rained some last night

Oregon has many well maintained roads with great shoulders. Lots of hills and stunning areas around the Rouge River. Really enjoyed my years there. The hot temps in your area probably will agree with you. Applegate road to Applegate is good as well as 99 to the City Rouge River. That’s if you are a roadie. If not, am sure there has to be a mtn bike shop with lots of tips.
my starter-wife came from GP so we used to tour the area so we weren’t stuck at her parents house.
