    This was posted by Mikesee on MTBR about 4 weeks ago and one of THE most creative posts I've seen. Do yourself a favor and check it out at:

    Pics were taken on Engineer Mtn Trail and Hermosa Creek Trail near Durango, and the North Umpqua Trail, Alpine Trail, Middle Fork of the Willamette, and Heckletooth Trail in the Oregon Cascades. Straight road shot was somewhere in extreme southern Oregon--just north of Winnemucca

    The words are from Dr Seuss' Oh the Places You'll Go.

    Nice match! :bang:

    I have to say, this was probably the most inspired post on any BB I've ever seen. I'd say more, but honestly, I can't.

    Incredible. Thanks for posting the link OMR.

    Man, I'd love to ride there. Those are the kind of images that you have in your head when you hear "mountain biking"

    Awesome post, wish I could take pictures like that. I just rode those 2 trails in Oregon about a month ago. Not technically challenging, but probably the best scenery I've had on a ride ever.
