Work on technical riding skills at rocky Radlands
BY MARK MORICAL • The Bulletin
REDMOND — The wind whipped fiercely across the High Desert as I
negotiated a seemingly endless series of flat rocks along the trail.
Mountain biking in the wintertime in Central Oregon is not without its
difficulty. Brisk temperatures, and icy, snowy and muddy terrain can
make for grueling outings on the trails.
But at the Redmond Radlands, add
a significant amount of technical lava
rock to that list of challenges.
The Radlands include about 10 miles
of looped singletrack trails in northeast
Redmond. Lava rock is incorporated
creatively into much of the singletrack,
designed by volunteers with the Central
Oregon Trail Alliance. The Radlands is
the ideal place to develop technical rid-
ing skills on terrain that is quite differ-
ent from most other bike trails in Cen-
tral Oregon. It is also a perfect winter
option when other trails near Bend are
still mired in snow or ice.
On Tuesday, I made the drive from
Bend to Redmond to explore the Rad-
lands. I left early in the morning, in or-
der to ride the trails while the dirt was
still frozen and before muddy condi-
tions might develop with a thaw. (Rid-
ing in mud is not just unenjoyable, it
also can damage trails by leaving be-
hind ruts.)
Starting from the trailhead at the
High Desert Sports Complex, the trail
was smooth and fast, cutting through
sagebrush and old, twisted juniper
trees. It took a while to reach the rocky
sections of the trail, but once I did, they
never seemed to end.
Much of the rock built into the sin-
gletrack at the Radlands is flat slab rock
that is relatively easy to ride over. But
some rock sections are particularly
tricky, with the rocks jutting up sharply
for long stretches.
Full-suspension bikes that can help
to smooth out a ride are recommended
at the Radlands.
Riding over rocky, technical terrain
on a mountain bike usually is all about
mind over matter. Those who have the
confidence and make a quick decision
to just go for it often will ride a chal-
lenging section without incident.
Hesitation can cause problems.
At the Radlands trails, I focused on
riding fast and continuously through
the myriad rock gardens, using my mo-
mentum to carry me through the rug-
ged terrain. Braking hard or stopping
can be disastrous, as that can lead to a
loss of balance or tipping over to crash
onto the rocks.
Posted signs at the Radland rate the
singletrack trails as “easy,” “more diffi-
cult” or “most difficult.” The area also
holds many miles of doubletrack dirt
roads to explore.
On the north end of the trail system,
bikers have three loop options of vary-
ing skill levels. Duck ‘n Cover is the most
technical and rocky segment of the trail
system, according to bendtrails.org.
On the south end of the Radlands,
the Outer Loop provides more miles
and fewer rocky sections.
I rode the Outer Loop once around,
then tried the intermediate Bobber
Loop (intermediate) and Duck ‘n
Cover. All told, I rode about 10 miles in
1 hour, 40 minutes, as the lava rock sec-
tions made for slow-going.
Aside from the technical riding chal-
lenges, the Radlands offer some under-
rated views.
Redmond is home to dramatic vis-
tas of the Three Sisters to the west and
Smith Rock State Park to the north.
The flat, open expanse of the Radlands
makes the most of these views, as the
mountains are visible most anywhere in
the network.
The variety of the trail features in the
Radlands is pretty unique, from con-
tinuously rock-strewn trails to smooth,
flowing high-desert singletrack. The
area has little elevation change, so
mountain bikers need not worry about
hellacious climbs or teeth-chattering
downhill sections.
The technical rock challenges are
enough, and they make the Radlands
a good destination for any mountain
biker in the winter and spring.

In observance of the
20th anniversary of
9/11, I am writing a book
about the Flight for Free-

2001 to support New
Yorkers after 9/11. This
was an effort unequaled
by any other constituen-
