try riding up goodman creek and then to the top of eagles rest and then turn around and ride the 7 miles back down. Great workout, epic singletrack. Not for the wuss.

You probably went up the Hardesty Trail that goes to the top of Hardesty Mtn. This can be done as a loop by going out the South Willamette Trail, then ride briefly east on HWY 58 to catch the Patterson Creek Road (gravel) that goes up and up to a junction a the ridgetop. The rough double track to the north leads to the Hardesty Trail and a screamin' downhill.

There are lots of trails at this trail head. I took the one that just went up. It was a blast though. I'll be going back for more soon.
