How to ride oakridge

Our Most Popular Shuttle: Alpine Trail
The Alpine Trail is our signature route—a must-do ride showcasing miles of fast descents, forested landscapes, and flowing singletrack. For those seeking a bigger adventure, extend your ride with the ATCA loop (Alpine, Tire Mountain, Cloverpatch) for an epic backcountry day.
- Lawler or Hardesty (Back-to-Back): Our most popular pairing. Accessed from the same shuttle road, these two combine into a full day of technical, fast, and flow-style riding.
- Dead Mountain: A local favorite, known for fast descents and flow-style trails. Ideal as a warm-up or paired for a bigger ride day.
- Larison Rock: A quick, classic descent dropping straight into Oakridge. Great on its own or paired with Dead Mountain.
- Heckletooth: A rowdier, rugged ride perfect for those seeking technical challenge. Often combined with Dead Mountain or Larison Rock.

Before You Drop In
Here’s what you need to know.
Each shuttle has a different pickup location. Once your shuttle is confirmed, you’ll receive a confirmation email with the exact meet-up spot and details.
Of course! If you’re ready for another run, just ask your driver or give them a call—they’ll get you booked on the next available shuttle.
Yes, you can! If you’re in the area and looking to hop on a shuttle, give them a call. However, same-day bookings are not confirmed until you receive a confirmation email. Please note that just because a shuttle is on the schedule doesn’t guarantee it will run.
Yes! Season Shuttle Passes are available for $399 per person, per season, under the ‘Oakridge Mountain Bike Shuttles’ page on their website. Passes are valid for any Oakridge shuttles running from May 1 to November 1, but please note that blackout dates apply. As a season pass holder, it’s important to understand that shuttles don’t always go out—a minimum of two riders is required for a shuttle to run.
Weather changes fast in the Pacific Northwest! Bring the essentials:
- Rain jacket (even if it looks sunny)
- Plenty of water and snacks
- Spare tube and basic tools
- Riding layers (light gloves, windbreaker)
- Sunscreen
- Sturdy shoes
We recommend a small pack to carry your supplies.
It’s highly recommended to book in advance! If you show up at a pickup location without a reservation, the shuttle may be full, not running at that time, or reserved for a private group. Sometimes shuttles don’t go out at all if no one has booked. It’s best to reserve your spot ahead of time or give them a call to check availability for the day.
Yes. All riders must sign a waiver before participating. Once you book, you’ll receive the waiver electronically — it only takes a minute to complete online.
Yes, and it’s always appreciated! Our drivers are experienced mountain bikers themselves and work hard to make your day a success. Tips (cash or Venmo) and Google Reviews both go a long way to supporting our small business.
Welcome to the mountains! We ride rain or shine. However, in rare cases of extreme weather (forest closures, lightning storms, wildfire danger), we may cancel for safety reasons. In that case, we’ll work with you to reschedule or refund.
Yes! If you’d prefer a private experience for your group, we offer private shuttle options. Contact us ahead of time to arrange your own custom day. You can find more info here.
No, booking a shuttle online does not guarantee your spot until you receive a confirmation email. It can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 day for them to confirm or deny a shuttle. If you need an answer sooner, give them a call, and they’ll get you sorted out as quickly as possible.
