ADD THIS PLACE To Your List - Klamath Falls, OR - We Had No Idea

#loamwolf #emtb
We've driven through Klamath Falls, Oregon on Highway 97 countless time as we cruised from Bend, Oregon down to California. We admired the beautiful setting along the massive Upper Klamath Lake, but never knew the extensive and impressive trail network that silently watched us drive by trip after trip... Luckily we got in contact with Discover Klamath and were invited down to Spence Mountain to ride some amazing purpose built mountain bike and electric mountain bike trails in a newly acquired 7,500 acre parcel of land.
Klamath Falls was a surprise and welcome stop to our eMTB Destination Tour for 2023 and we couldn't be more stoked that this place is only 2 hours from our home in Bend, Oregon. We plan on coming back a lot more often to ride Spence Mountain and Moore Park / Moore Mountain.
Huge thanks to @DiscoverKlamathVCB @runningyranchresort5388 and @klamathtrailsalliance for hosting us.
This trip and series would not have been possible without the help from these amazing sponsors! We'd be stoked if you thanked them, and let them know down below if you enjoyed the content and want to see more.

I hope you guys can do this more regularly. Love this type of content!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thank you William, stay tuned for episode 3 and 4 in this year's series coming in the next two weeks!

[@JaredHoff]

Awesome! Thanks for helping put Klamath on the map 👍 Guys at Spence have been building some amazing trails!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Our pleasure!

[@DiscoverKlamathVCB]

We're stoked that the Loam Wolf crew was able to check out Spence and look forward to some more awesome features for this up and coming destination!

[@neozeonsolid]

Spence is the most underrated trail system in Oregon, it has everything except for wood features. Moore park being next to downtown is awesome too. Love being able to ride my bike without having to drive to the TH.

[@bpisan]

First annual Spence Mayhem MTB was hosted today so this drop is perfectly timed! 👌🏻

[@TheLoamWolf]

Oh nice!

[@AndrewLakey]

Great video, glad you liked our little gem of the mountain biking world.

[@TheLoamWolf]

We love it!

[@VlogsEllie]

Seeing ny home town on youtube, on my recommended made my night

[@tonyparker9370]

Travelling to the U.S and Canada next summer which will include a month or two in the PNW so looking forward to more locations in the series where we will be able to ride. Well done for putting Klamath Falls on our radar as it will be a must do for us now. Fantastic to see more ride areas welcoming and accepting ebikes in the U.S. Being from Australia we have never understood the dislike towards ebikes from other trail users, even worse by fellow (acoustic) MTBers over there.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thanks for the comment and we hope you have a great time on your trip! We're not sure either but hope that it continues to shift...There will always be hold outs but if we can at least get people to drop the confrontational superiority complex, we'll be in a better spot for sure.

[@boonerichardson1639]

Sweet! Lived in the Rogue Valley for a number of years and would go hit Spence from time to time when I needed some rock in my diet!

[@jennyeidson4916]

Listen to all those birds...

[@jonathan.lastra]

Spence is awesome! Glad you guys got to check it out and the rest of the community.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Yes it was!

[@chriscordova2680]

Loam Wolf crew , thank you, yet another surprise of a gem location!!!! I have driven through Klamath many times for work and never given a thought to check that place out. Trails look super sick, that cinnamon roll though....yikes!!

[@TheLoamWolf]

It's definitely worth stopping by next time! Very fun trails

[@TheLoamWolf]

And definitely get a cinnamon roll. 😂

[@yoterryh_JTH]

As a mountain biker and someone who grew up in KFalls this is awesome to see! Though I no longer live in Southern Oregon, I have been down to ride in Klamath three times now. Now that I have an EMTB, I have another reason to go!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Right on! Hope you have a fun trip back.

[@dermlover1]

Would you ever move back and live in KFalls?

[@Robtj95]

Very good times!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Yes indeed!

[@jasoncass8771]

Those trails look fantastic. I should make a trip down there.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Yes you should!

[@sammysan1234]

Looks very fun!!

[@TheLoamWolf]

It sure was!

[@Hemsworthyclub]

Probably ur best video ever 🎉❤😂

[@windprobe7264]

The guy left out windsurfing, kite boarding and winging for water sports🤟

[@a8f235]

ebike tour... I'll head over and watch some more Red Bull Erzbergrodeo instead. They got the proper sound.

[@simmonslucas]

Hello from Klamath

[@lathamstylemtb]

Love me some speed king. Will be there again in July.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Same here!

[@MTB_CEBO]

Great Video! I live a stones throw away from Moore park and mountain bike all the time. Cool to see you guys come through and shine a positive light on our community. 👍

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thanks for watching!

[@jakehixon1073]

Home trails! Great to get our name out there! Thanks!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Our pleasure!

[@farmingwithbiology]

E bikes are the best.

[@rjcamsr]

Wow, awesome trails and I love that they are embracing ebikes!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Us too!

[@CguyYt]

I live in klamath😮

[@AppleJack76]

Shame shame shame, for not finishing the cinnamon roll. 😁

[@TheLoamWolf]

We won’t let him forget!!

[@wholeteam089]

30 yrs from now we will all be laughing about how e-bikes used to banned on trails. Some purist really do fear the future 😢

[@bfranco1519]

WTF is Robert wearing?! LOL

[@danielpatino81]

Is anyone offering shuttle service upthere?

[@jasoncass8771]

I guess being able to eat a cinnamon roll for breakfast is an advantage for e-bikes. I couldn't do a big climb on all that sugar.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Even for e-bikes it’s not recommended. Was delicious, but did Robert’s body no favors.

[@jasoncass8771]

@@TheLoamWolf LOL!

[@Zetler]

Wow looks like a great place to ride. Can I E-foil here too?

[@TheLoamWolf]

It certainly is. We were very pleasantly surprised.

[@boonedoogly]

Lake of the Woods - just about 20 minutes up the road from Spence Mountain - would be a fantastic place to work out your e-foil!

[@ManInTheBigHat]

Just keep off the hiking trails!

[@ksnax]

Regarding e-bikes, I can only guess, but Klamath County likely received a grant from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, which specifically dictates proper ebikes be allowed in areas developed for biking. Maybe some day the NFS will catch up to where the rest of the nation is moving on that point.

[@JF-lt5zc]

Hope not. Watch some videos or find some pictures, and read some articles on how damaging lithium and cobalt mining is to the environment and how children are used to mine in 3rd world countries, along with the reduced lifespan due to breathing highly contaminated air in the mines. Then weigh that against your personal convenience of not having to work your ass off pedaling up hill or on rough sections of what look like moto trails in the vid.

[@ksnax]

How ever do you live with yourself and the lithium ion powered cell phone in your pocket? And you can shove the ablism of assumed workload gatekeeping somewhere warm and moist.

[@JF-lt5zc]

@@ksnax I try to minimize my use as much as possible, knowing the costs of the devices I use. Seems like you could give two shits. But "send it, bro"

[@ksnax]

@@JF-lt5zc Apologies for my 'reactive' reply. Coffee had not kicked in and there seems to be a lot of people on forums with very non-understanding perspectives on e-bike use. The up side is that in 3 years of using one, I have never run into any overt animosity on the trails. I still ride standard MTB as well, but the difference is often in driving or shuttling to the trails vs. just hopping on the e-bike from the house.

[@samuelfrodge4988]

Stay put. This place isn't anything special. There's nothing to do here

[@sirvince7853]

I'm not against E-Bikes but like other motorized two wheelers, the user should be required to hold a liability policy in case of a trail accident. Because E-Bikes have more energy than a normal mtn bike. Ride on

[@kenalexander8809]

I don't know if you have ever riden an e-MTB, but now that in my 50's it makes going uphill alot more enjoyable and I don't find myself going faster down hill than on my analog bikes.

[@kenalexander8809]

P.S. I forgot to add that the motor doesnt assist you when above 20 mph. Level 1 bikes are only pedal assist and there isnt a throttle.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Interesting thoughts. We’d like to know what you mean by have more energy? Are you referring to a head on collision scenario? If so, would that be different than the energy an expert 220lb non-ebike rider going downhill would have hitting a rider vs a 160lb rider?

[@jmo2752]

@@TheLoamWolf exactly, and the weight difference isn't even that much - 20-25lbs at most.
