Mountain bikers from across the south Oregon coast, northern California, and the I-5 corridor will converge on Agness this November for the Wild Coast Trails Association's (WCTA) annual Holiday Ride and Party. The event takes place Saturday, November 22, based out of Cougar Lane Lodge.

This year's ride will highlight the Pine Grove Trail - widely considered the premier downhill trail on the Oregon Coast - and may include the Fritsche Cabin Trail, both located in the scenic Rogue-Siskiyou National Forest east of Gold Beach. Pine Grove offers more than 6.5 miles of nearly continuous downhill terrain, featuring roots, rocks, exposed sections, and a mix of backcountry and flow-style riding. The trail concludes at the confluence of the Rogue and Illinois rivers, making it a prime spot for anglers as well.

Both trails are rated intermediate and are not recommended for beginners. Riders should come prepared for technical terrain and wet conditions, as the event will proceed rain or shine. Helmets and appropriate riding gear are required, and participants are encouraged to bring a change of clothes.


WCTA will provide free shuttle service to trailheads, with cash tips appreciated for volunteer drivers. Riders should meet at Cougar Lane Lodge at 9:30 a.m. to begin the day.

“After the ride, the group will gather back at Cougar Lane Lodge for lunch and drinks” said Oregon Coast Visitors Association, which is one of the organizers. “The lodge offers a full-service restaurant, lodging, and RV park - perfect for riders who want to stay overnight and enjoy some legendary BBQ.”

The WCTA maintains several of the South Coast's most popular trail systems, including Pine Grove, Whiskey Run, 100 Acre Wood, Winchester Trails, Blue Ridge, and Fritsche Cabin. Riders and supporters are encouraged to contribute to the organization through one-time or recurring donations.
