ABOUT THE EPISODE
The Tillamook Off Road Trail Alliance (TORTA) is a relatively new trail organization located on the Pacific Coast in Tillamook County, Oregon. TORTA has the ambitious goal of building 29 miles of trails, known as the Buzzard Butte Trail Network in the Siuslaw National Forest. On this episode we have Ron Baker (TORTA Board Member), Derek Kidd (Norco Bikes) and Pat Corran (Former Portland Resident) to discuss all things related to TORTA and this region. There is also a fundraiser to help fund the building of these trails. Go to www.tortamtb.com to buy Stickers & enter for a chance to win a handful of great prizes including a complete Norco Bike.
