Services at Start/End: Food and Water at Clear Lake 2.4 miles. Showers bike wash and drinks at Horse Creek Lodge at end

Where we decide along the way. I recommend 3 liters of water and plenty of food. Clear Lake 2.4 miles in has food and bathrooms, Horse Creek Lodge at shuttle start and end.

Ride Type: Gravel

Point to point with a shuttle from Horse Creek Lodge to the start of our route. The shuttle will leave at 9 am and cost $35 each. The Lodge is opening up a shuttle for us because we are going on a route that is not on the MRT and hence not closed for bridge work this week. They will open the web sign up Monday after I call and we should book our ride then. Please sign up today so I know we can open up a shuttle when I call them.  https://horse-creek.com/mckenzie-mountain-bike-hike-shuttles/mckenzie-river-trail-shuttle/

Now the ride description: Point-to-point route, which runs from Clear Lake to McKenzie Bridge net drop of 4,600 feet but a gain of 2800. Single track along Clear Lake, steep paved road for a small section then mostly hard packed gray gravel. Last 14 miles are flattish pavement, according to Dirty Freehub.https://dirtyfreehub.org/routes/oregon/blue-river/
