If you haven't gotten the emails, the instagrams or facebook post, here's the final call out. The Disciples of Dirt are gearing up once again to host the annual All Comer’s Meet. And this one won’t be just another year, another ACM. THIS will be the 20th anniversary of our beloved event and we’re planning to go big! So please come on out and celebrate with DOD by riding around in whatever temperatures and whatever weather mid-January might throw at us… for the 20th time! Join us on the traditional MLK holiday weekend for the most fun you’ll have all winter!
All Comer’s Meet is an ALL ages, ALL abilities, ALL inclusive, and ALL weather social ride, party and fundraiser held at the Carpenter Bypass Trail System (Whypass) just outside of Lorane, Oregon. It has become a much anticipated annual happening, converged upon by folks from all over this beautiful state. ACM is by far DOD's largest fundraiser, with all proceeds* going towards building and maintaining trails at Carpenter Bypass. Our most recent large expenditure went to pay professional trail builders to help us add a one mile downhill jump/flow line (Y2K) that has quickly become one of the most popular trails in the network.
*The event is free but the purchase of tickets for the fundraiser raffle is highly encouraged.
HOW IT WORKS
Riders will gather around 9:45 AM at the upper (south) parking lot and break into ride groups according to pace and/or skill level. Then we all head out for a fun day of cruising the Whypass trails. After the ride everyone hangs out at the staging area to eat pizza, drink beverages, win the coolest prizes, and warm themselves by the fire.

DIRECTIONS: Click the link below for directions to the Carpenter Bypass Trail System. Once on Carpenter Bypass Road, keep driving up the hill past the gravel pile until you see the South Park staging area on the left after the yellow gate. The parking lot will be closed for the event so you’ll need to park along the side of the road.
