For years, I've been looking for a way to contribute to the our local cycling community. With the likely and inevitable closure of the BendTrails website, I spent a couple weeks ignoring my day job to build up Bend Bike Rides: https://bendbikerides.com.

Things are still under construction and I have plans to greatly expand the features available on the site. However, the basic functionality of the map, trail details, difficulty ratings, and conditions reports are ready to use. I appreciate any and all feedback to help make the site as useful as possible!

If you've ridden any trails recently, I (and anyone coming to the site) appreciate your help keeping the riding conditions up to date. On each trail page, there's a convenient "Report Conditions" button — no signup or login required.

This is awesome Paul! Thank you…I’ll put it to use, and will indeed report conditions.

Incredible, thank you!

I'd love to be able to see topo lines on the map. 
Related to that is when looking at the elevation profile for each trail it's not obvious which riding direction the profile is relating to (for example Grand Slam vs Kents). I'm not sure how many folks are looking at those but wanted to point it out.

"yes, and" - the way Strava handles the directionality is allowing a mouse-over on the route or elevation map that moves the location dot on the other one.  I'd love to see that as well, as many of these loops are bi-directional and picking the elevation profile is an important part of that.

Both good call-outs. Thanks! I'll be adding some features around these suggestions this week
