Interesting. I have lived in the Northwest my entire life and I have never heard the term "Oregon out back" until this video showed up. I actually Googled the term. I guess I learned something new.😊
I hope to do this ride someday in the near future. It looks like this year I’ll be doing a similar ride but staying on the asphalt most of the way.… Going from Portland/Mount Hood area through Madras Redmond bend Lapine down to K Falls. Hopefully, traffic won’t be too bad sounds of Mount Hood, especially south of bend.
Looks like your group rode a mix of rigid gravel bikes and hardtail. I'm scoping the second half of the route (from Prineville heading north), any recommendations on bike choice? Thanks for sharing your experience!
Honestly, north of prineville was super smooth sailing. I would recommend a smaller tire if that’s the only stretch you’ll be doing. Drop bar gravel bike would def suffice. I had 29x3.0 and it was great for the “red sauce” area south of prineville but the roads smooth considerably from Prineville on up. Have a great ride! Hopefully wildfire smoke isn’t an issue
@@twotiredtalesbikepacking7274 thanks for the intel! That's super helpful with the bike choice; for wildfire smoke we'll keep our fingers crossed and go early in the season.
Loved the kiss in the middle of the road! This world needs a LOT MORE PDA!!!❤
Looks like a ton of fun! I’m starting my trip of the Oregon Outback tomorrow. Super excited!

Thank you for posting. Great stuff. Love the leisure pace and great video showing all the great stuff this trail has to offer. Cheers.
This was great, thanks so much for posting! Thinking about doing this route next month and this was super inspiring.
Was the detour to Newberry worth it? I've been thinking of doing that myself, as I've never been there.

Thank you for sharing this journey! Planning on riding this in the end of summer! Really hope the smoke isn’t so bad again this season :/
Yeah! It was a blast and highly recommended. Have fun on your journey!
Gorgeous country!
