Expensive Weekend!

Happy Late Thanksgiving to everyone! Bri and I ventured out of town for some "family time" this Thanksgiving and along the way we were fortunate enough to stop off and have some fun with Wild Bill and Ashland Mountain Adventures in Ashland, OR on our way home. Wow! What a mountain! Bri has some pictures that we hope to have up soon, but the long and short of it is that we are going to NEED to get some DH rigs. They are so much fun! We both had a ball and I might be hard pressed to even get Bri on her XC bike again...she likes that whole "Shuttle up the hill, Shred down the hill" mentality! And she is pretty good, too! The other guys were impressed with her ability to keep it "twisted" down the mountain! ha!

Even without the DH bikes, we had a ball as we rode the mountain on our XC bikes on our trek North. The trails are pristine and Wild Bill said that we can get in a killer XC loop, with plenty of sweet single track that would provide a weekend of riding with little trail overlap! We will have to go back when the mountain isn't half covered in snow to really get the grand tour! We were fortunate enough that the snow level was high enough to let us even ride!

Even cooler, Ashland Mountain Adventures is coming on board with SB Racing and we couldn't be happier to partner with great people offering a truly fun and unique cycling experience on a mountain that has to be experienced to be fully understood!

More to come about our adventures, but leave it at:
We BOTH have MUCH more respect for slippery, rain and mud covered roots...
Oregon woods are amazing to ride and beautiful to enjoy
Downhill bikes look to be on the horizon...

Hope your holiday was a great one, too!
