Bear Springs Trap XC on Sunday, May 10

All About the Ride: Bear Springs Trap XC

OBRA and Friends, please join us this Sunday, May 10, at 10:30 a.m. for the 24th Bear Springs Trap XC!

This race is all about the ride. And for us, this event is a labor of love—to open the trails each spring and share them with you.

The weather forecast looks perfect—70s and sun! The venue is ideally situated among Portland, the Gorge and Bend. Plus, we’ll wrap up quickly so you can get on with your day. But before that, free food and drink will await your finish!

Choose between the 20-mile Big XC or the 28-mile Epic XC courses, each a single, unique route of almost-all trail. The Epic course features two extra loops on Keeps Mill and Rim Rock. Each loop departs and returns to the Big course at the same points. (Course files will be posted soon.)

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind experience. We’d love to have you!

—Erik Tonkin + Petr Kakes
