Race Time at the Mudslinger! 

Join Hundreds from all over Oregon and the Northwest at the Mudslinger on the first Saturday in April for an annual celebration of mountain biking and one fun time since 1987. 



Climb or grind to the top of a ridge and bomb down fast-paced, loamy trails built off our Pacific NW Logging heritage and yours honestly with some dedicated friends.

An excellent front tire is a must to bite into the dirt, and being the day is usually 55 degrees or even 60 with a 40% chance of rain, you must be ready for anything. 

Since 2001 we have been in Blodgett, Oregon, 20 minutes west of Corvallis, to continue the tradition after the 1991 NORBA State Championships was held on this ground. 


Fantastic old-school logging roads with 30% singletrack in most years that will leave you on edge. 



Thank you, Starker Forests, for supporting the Mudslinger course and recreation for many trail users.


Challenging and fun for all!


Mike and the Mudslinger Crew
