The Skinner's Classic Mountain Bike Race Course lies west of Eugene on Needham Road. The racecourse itself is 3 miles long, with many possible variations on adjoining trails. Proceed south on Chambers Street over the top to Lorane Highway. Turn right and travel 1.1 miles down Lorane Highway to Needham Road. (Located at the same intersection as Blanton Road.) Follow this gravel road for 0.8 miles to where it ends in a clearing. If driving, limit speed on Needham Road to no more than 10 mph.
If you are susceptible to poison oak, this might be an area to avoid. Beware of horses, especially on the weekends. Above all, please respect the property owners in this area so that we may continue to be allowed to use this excellent riding area.
