Review: About 1/2 of the lower section of this trail is currently closed due to fire damage. It's probably not a good idea to go past the Tire Mountain TH just past Windy Pass. The Alpine to Tire Mountain to Cloverpatch loop is open and in excellent condition, however.

Review: Rode as a loop from the covered bridge, up North Fork Tr. Then 1912 to Windy Pass (5/12/12 was able to get appx. 1 mile north on Alpine till hit snow). The ride back down Alpine to the covered bridge is definitely now on my top 10 list of awesome downhills. Although there is still some climbing, is welcome relief to give the down hill muscles a rest. Will come back again when the snow lets me start the ST at Kate's Cut-in. Map from the bike shop in Oakridge is excellent, and highly recommended, get lost out there, and you'll never be found.

Review: ANy time I get to ride where there's any shade is a treat for a desert rat. While this trail climbs the hills it's not that steep. Oakridge is MTB central in the state, go!

Review: I usually ride the singletrack trail along the river rather than the paved road up to Rd. 1910. In fact, a little further up is Rd. 1912 which also leads to the junction known as Windy Pass, but is about 2 miles shorter. From there you can access the ride described here or any of several others. It's 5 miles to Rd. 1912, 6.5 miles up gravel to Windy, and about 5-6 miles of some of the best, fastest and most beautiful downhill I've ever been on. You end up back at the bridge in Westfir. There are many, many options for riding here. Tire Mountain adds a couple hours to the ride, and provides stunning views on clear days. Make sure to get the most recent topo map (the one sponsored by GOATS) and a compass. * Review edited 1/18/2012

Review: Great workout! lots of ups and downs. Lots of roots to navigate. Riding right on the edge, keep your eyes on the trail and pedal hard! Got a lot of bug bites.

Review: Beautiful Trail. Nice flowy narrow singletrack or hardpack goodness. I took up the shuttle from MBO, which was well worth it and would do again. There was lots of lush greenery and lots of downed trees. I wish there were some jumps of some sort along the way. Overall awesome ride.

Review: Beautiful scenery, beautiful trail. I rode up 1910 for about 8 miles and accessed the trail from 1911. It was a long 8 miles but well worth it. Thanks to Eugene at Willamette Mountain Mercantile for showing me such a great trail.

Review: Wow, really really fun trail. Easily in my top 5. Long forest road grind to the top, followed by gorgeous scenery and an absolutely kick-ass descent. Very, very good flow, extremely fast. Really nice trailhead facilities to boot. Highly recommended.
