I know this forum is Australia-based, but I've met a few international riders from here in person over the years, and I know many of you make trips to the Gorge.

To make it a little easier for visiting riders, I've been compiling a list of brands and shops that offer free demo opportunities available in the Gorge. I've also been fortunate to build relationships with a few brands and local shops that have loaned gear to the library, so riders can easily try equipment before deciding whether to buy.

If you're planning a Gorge trip and want to see what's available to demo, here's the link:
