Ride from Bend's West-side. I start near Victorian Cafe. It rides up to Tree Farm and connects to the Waterline trail. From there via Tumalo Creek to Mrazek. It continues up Mrazek to Farewell Bend. From there down to Tumalo Creek trail next to Tumalo Falls. That takes you down to Tumalo Ridge Trail to Sector 16. From there it's NF roads back to Phil's and the Cascades Highland trail back to the start.

It is 42 miles with about 4100 feet of climbing. It is mostly single track and NF roads. It only has a couple of miles of paved trails.

This route is Unsanctioned, Ride at your own Risk!
