The fourth race of the 2013 Oregon Enduro finds us invading the Yacolt Burn State Forest just over the border in Washington State. On Larch Mountain, just Northeast of Portland, Oregon sits a network of trails built to thrill. Because these trails are used by hikers, bikers, motos and horses this area is lucky to have the group called
Cold Creek Mountain Bikers to limit conflicts and help build/maintain these trails.
The race used five stages on two different trails, Cold Creek and Thrillium. While the trails of Larch Mountain trails may not have the beauty of the French Alps, they more than make up for it by delivering trails that challenge racers at all levels. The terrain here has been described as rugged, rocky, fast and fun and the race directors decided to designate this race as 'full-face-only' designation due to the potential for injury.
8-year-old Max Suffin may not have had youth class to race but that didn't stop him from practicing the tricky shale rock section of upper Cold Creek Trail. Not an easy feat here on 20" wheels where the rocks are constantly shifting underneath you. Max can frequently be spotted at Portland's
'Lumberyard' bike park where his dad works.
We interrupt this broadcast for more Dylan Wolsky. Sunset shoot with Tom Teller getting footage.
