Event - Mountain Bike Oregon
Aug 23, 2007
by Francis Cebedo
|
Where? Oakridge is a small valley town, east of Eugene. Where? It’s 9 hours north of Norcal. We’ll figure it out.

Last year, a few of my friends left me on injured reserve and took the trip to Oakridge. They said the riding was incredible and the event was very enjoyable......... |

When Ritchey showed me their polished titanium WCS V4 mountain pedals at Interbike last year I thought I might have finally found reason to look into a new option. They are way lighter than my old school ATACs, and feature a very open design that ought to shed mud well. They also move the cleat closer to the spindle centerline ... |
