FAT 55 is the quintessential Oakridge sampler: ride Salmon Creek and Larison Creek the technical creek trails, Heckletooth and Larison Rock the areas mountain top trails, and Aubrey Mountain and Larison Rock’s sweeping fast traverses throwing you into tight switchbacks.
Come to win, or for a long fully supported ride on Oakridge’s best trails. The FAT 55 is a fun day of mountain biking.
$1000 cash prize to the fastest man and woman plus:
1st place in each category wins $200 and a custom Wade made trophy.
Fresh food by Lion Mountain Bakery, and live music by local musicians including Melissa Ruth and the Likely Stories, and Felly Smith accompanied by micro brews by Ninkasi Brewing finish this day out nicely.
