Any suggestions for decent trail riding around Madras would be much appreciated.

Only options I know of are Smith Rock in Terrebonne, or up in the Mount Hood NF.

Thanks, Cap'n

I never have ridden Smith Rock, do you think it's worth checking out?

Smith Rock is great, every time I ride there I feel a little bit like I'm in Moab... Definitely worth checking out if you've never been there,

Check out this map for good ride info:

North of Madras is the Warm Springs Reservation and there is no legal access to trails there. Some of the trails around Kahneeta are short and fun to ride, but you'll definitely need slime to counteract the goat heads.

That's all I know of near Madras and since there is no bike shop there, finding local knowledge could pose a challenge.

Good luck!
