Hi, spokers,

First post after some lurking. Great site, good vibe thumbsup

Just became aware of the great riding east of Eugene, and looking at a section of the Oregon 3 Rivers from and back to Oakridge. Basically taking the chunk of the ride southeast of Oakridge.

I've gotten a few bikepacking trips in--pretty sure I can ride this 180-mile lolli in 4-5 days and have fun. Looking for advice on trail conditions and logistics:

Any reason why I couldn't leave my car somewhere in Oakridge or at an appropriate trailhead and ride car to car?

When are these trails considered "in season"? My window begins now, and ideally I'd do it sooner rather than later. Snowpack? Mud? Closures? Other considerations?


On my list to contact: Bike aficionados at Willamette Mountain Mercantile; local BLM and FS ranger offices. I imagine the local page at MTBR.com will have knowledgeable participants.

Thanks in advance for any informational nuggets!

Mike
