Trip: Maah Daah Hey

Guide: Will C., Ben L.

Great trip overall. The logistics, rental equipment, communication before, during and after met all of my expectations. Ben and Will were professional and personable. I felt that they blended the right amount of guiding/oversite and personal attention to make the experience memorable. Meals were just right in terms of quantity. I appreciated having both cold and hot breakfast options that were healthy and diverse. Lunches were well thought out and hit at just the right time. Dinners included an appetizer (much needed after the riding), main and dessert. Again, I think the balance of carbs, protein and fat hit the mark and I really appreciated that every meal was different. The rental equipment was in good shape and definitely met my needs. I will recommend WSC to others and look to join another myself in the future.

Switched to Mt. Hood- nice efforts on altering certain courses and rides for group benefit.

Challenging trip with excellent guides. Claire and Shane were personable, professional, highly skilled and fun to be with. Although they were working really hard each day, they made it look effortless. The bike riding route was challenging; hot springs at the end of each day were great. Definitely recommend Western Spirit and would look forward to another adventure.

Trip: Oakridge Singletrack

Guide: Lucas E., Garrett C.

Lucas and Garrett were the best!! Food and location and the single track routes were wonderful. This was not the Oakridge trip due to fires. But Mt Hood was fantastic so we didn’t mind the change. Two things however that I would have changed. First of all this is our second trip with you guys and I mentioned this last year. I couldn’t bring my bikes with us as I had five suitcases already for me and my son. I am 5 foot 2 and weigh 100 lbs. the 29ers especially with the aluminum frame and size small were a bit heavy and cumbersome. You really should have a few- just a few- xs and 27ers (aluminum would be fine if the sizing were better). My son who is a better biker than me is exactly the same height and weight and also would have done better on an appropriate sized frame. Second. The smoke was truly unhealthy on our first day out. I called on Sunday to say it was rated as 290 (!!!) that day and Monday was no better. You could not see anything. Our guides even had to wear masks and I chose to after half the day out. I think you might have been better to maybe cancel the first day… as it was really not healthy to be outside. I totally understand the desire to carry on as we were all super psyched to be on the trip but yeah I’m not sure it was the right call. Things cleared by Tuesday luckily and everything was perfect after! Just consider the smaller bike size as not all people are large and some are petite and would just do better on xs 27ers. Thanks so much. We had a wonderful time!

A twenty plus year trip in the making came to fruition at the Maah Daah Hey. Well done Ben and Will! Talented young men! Thank you for a big assist at completing a ride that first came to my attention in the early 2000’s. Dirt Rag magazine ran an article on Gary Fisher who had recently completed the Maah Daah Hey. Inspired by this article it could not have happened without Wedtern Spirit. Thank you!!
