Bear Springs Trap

The snow situation is the best it's been in years, and the weather looks great from here forward. The trails were cleared and updated last year, so expect them to be even better this year!

Expect dry and raw trail conditions along with mild temps. Speaking of weather, the best bet is to check the Pine Grove, OR forecast, but the venue is a zone all to its own! (Do NOT check Gov't Camp weather because it's irrelevant.)

Online pre-registration is open until 2pm on Saturday, May 3. Cost is $50 -- except Juniors for $25 and Fun Riders for $40. (Add $10 for day-of, which is cash- or check-only and closes at 10:00am.)

Registration link is here. A valid OBRA annual or day license is required.

This year we'll have two race courses: the "Epic XC" long course and the "Big XC" standard course. (Course links! Big XC ridewithgps, Epic XC ridewithgps)

The Epic XC is ~28 miles and the same as 2024. The Epic XC race starts at 11am

The Big XC is ~20 miles and the same as 2024. The Big XC is just after at 11:02am

Plus, we'll offer a non-competitive category this year.

The "Fun Ride"  Riders can follow the Epic XC or just the Big XC. (However, they will skip the 4 mile start loop that both courses share.) The Fun Ride starts at 11:02am.

Note that the Epic XC course includes the extra "Keeps Mill" and "Rim Rock" loops. Each loop is a contained circuit that departs from and then re-enters the Big XC course at a specific point.

The top-3 for each category will be awarded custom medals. Cash will also he awarded to the top-3 in the Pro category.

Please note that our permit does NOT allow for e-bikes, this year.
