A LITTLE ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS
Michael Bronze local trail rider, builder and general
lover of the outdoors. He is part of a larger group of
local riders that share the passion for biking and trail
building. As many of you may, Mike felt that the
freeriding opportunities in this area were lacking.  
Mike also felt that local freeriders were under
represented and needed a voice for our sport. With
other bike clubs in the area not getting involved with
current plans for trail expansion and the their lack
representation for our sport it was decided that SOFA
be formed.


Wes "Nile" Rogers.  Wes is the brain child of SOFA.  
Wes's roots run deep in So. Oregon. His family
stretches back 100 years in this area. Wes has been
active in the mountain bike community and is a well
known local yocal. He is familiar with this entire area
and just about every trail in it. Wes runs Cascade MTB
Adventures LLC. He offers guided MTB trips all over

would like to take an all inclusive MTB adventure
vacation give em a call. 541 301 8520
