What's so special about Bend?  Lots of things.  One major reason is the hundreds of miles of single track trail literally in our backyard.  As you know,  trails don't build or maintain themselves. As an all-volunteer non-profit group, Central Oregon Trail Alliance (COTA) needs mountain bikers like you to keep us going. If we don't have the volunteers to do the work, or the tools, signs, safety equipment, training sessions, insurance or a storage facility, the trails wouldn't look like they do, if they existed at all.  In the past few years COTA has opened more than 20 miles of new trail and upgraded many more miles throughout Central Oregon via over 15,000 hours of volunteer labor. We also have over 25 miles of trail approved and under construction. It also takes financial resources to provide the support our volunteers need to keep it all going and provide the stewardship needed to ensure the long term viability of the trail system.
