Our first mountain bike ride of the year was out to Horse Ridge in Bend OR. Mountain biking Horse Ridge was for the most part it was a nice grade without too much hard climbing (for a first ride).
There are a few rocky sections that will bang up your pedals, and cause you some aggravation, but all in all it was pretty chill.

The downhill on San Canyon wasn’t much to write home about. I would definitely rate it a blue and be ready for an arm pump due to all of the washboard terrain.
Overall, mountain biking Horse Ridge in Bend was a great first day on the trails! If we came back we’d try to find another way down that was a little more fun than Sand Canyon, but you could really try to push your speed limits on a fun loop in the area.
