Don’t Take Our Word For It GO HERE: Funner Trail Mountain Bike Action magazine says: “There are plenty of great mountain bike towns in America, but most have a downside ... That brings us to our pick for the best mountain biking town in America. A drum roll, please. Bend, Oregon. ... We’ve got thirty-five reasons to back up our claim that Bend is the best mountain biking town in America.” Outside magazine says: “Every place has its season – when living there makes you feel blessed. In Bend ... the showcase season happens to be, well, all of them. You can ski through May and mountain bike all year.” The New York Times says: “... brewers find inspiration in the town’s soft water — beer’s primary ingredient — the result of nearby mountain snowmelt.” Sunset magazine says: “My kind of town ... Bend remains a decidedly unpretentious community.”
