I have ridden Spence three times. The trail building is top notch with a bit of everything for all levels of riders. You will definitely get a full day of climbing in your legs with many fun technical runs back down. In addition to Spence Mtn, Moore Park is another incredible gem in the actual town of K-Falls. Kudos to the KTA. I live in Bend and after awhile it's nice for something different and these rides offer this.... 🙂
These two (as well as Dominika Paurova) are the reason Oregon State Women's Basketball will be strong for the next four years! Amazing freshman class...amazing team!

Do they support trans women related sports? If not then they aren't woke enough for Portland. Men dressed as women are women and if you disagree you're a facist.
Bev Smith is one of the kindest human beings I have ever met in my life. She is such an inspiration to young girls. Eugene is so lucky to have her in our community.
I live in maupin, however as a child and I’m under 40.. we had track meets there, I especially remember them in middle school, so this whole not having track meets in 60 years is crap
The best years of my childhood were spent here in the late 1960s to early 70s. I hated it when we were told we were moving. I'd always entertained moving back one day, but it's a pipe dream. My father was the mayor and had the library built. My younger brother lives nearby and is a firefighter. Oh, how I miss those days. This new track is a fantastic idea and I hope it brings more prosperity to Maupin.
