GOOD DIRT, STOP 2: Cascade Locks - 7/12
2025-07-12 09:00 - 13:30
Part of the GOOD DIRT 2025 – The RCB/NWTA Ride Series collection.

register here

Location:

Upper Ouroboros Parking on Wyeth Rd. in Cascade Locks

Google Maps Link

Trailforks Link

Coordinates: 45°41’30.4″N 121°48’27.9″W

Additional parking is available along the shoulder of Wyeth Rd. and at other pull-offs and smaller trailheads below this upper trailhead.

There are various parking spots along the shoulder of Wyeth Road in Cascade Locks, and the event will be based at the upper Ouroboros parking area, about 1.7 miles from the turn-off of the frontage road. The spot can be found at this pin or at the coordinates 45°41’30.4″N 121°48’27.9″W.

These are trail rides–requiring a modern trail-capable mountain bike and some trail riding experience–that participants love for the opportunity to meet at the trailhead, be greeted by River City Bicycles and Northwest Trail Alliance, learn about the trail systems from the folks who know them best, and have good times riding in a social group ride format.

After riding, we wrap things up socially with a tailgate grill sesh or picnic provided by River City Bicycles.

—

“modern trail-capable mountain bikes” – recreational or enthusiast-grade mountain bikes featuring larger volume knobby tires, suspension, disc brakes, dropper-posts, etc.

“some trail riding experience” – We intend for these trail rides to be open to riders of varying ability levels, but to be prepared, riders should be fairly comfortable on their bikes and ready to advance from beginner trails—like those found at Gateway Green—to those found at the larger trail systems we’ll be touring.
