Last week we received news that the founder of the Oregon Timber Trail was stepping down from leadership to pursue other life goals:

“Since 2015, when the Oregon Timber Trail was just a sketched line on a map, a concept to bring long-distance backcountry mountain biking to Oregon, Gabe Tiller has been there.

With his thirst for adventure and breathtaking photos, he crafted a story, a promise that with a dream and a bit of teamwork, we could all take the path less traveled, from one rural town to the next, The OTT was born. Gabe has been one of the key visionaries, along with Harry Daalgard and Chris Bernhart, to develop the specific alignment of the Timber Trail.”

Read the full story at the Oregon Timber Trail and we’d like to wish Gabe smooth trails for his future endeavors.
