745 Whoopsy Doo is a mountain biking route in Oregon, about 4.8 miles from the town of Island City. It is a short out-and-back ride of roughly 1.3 miles, with a total elevation gain of 678 feet and a high point of 3,822 feet. The climb is moderate, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.5 miles in, where the grade reaches 16%. The route starts at an elevation of about 3,816 feet and reaches a low point of 3,532 feet before returning. That makes it a natural pairing with other nearby trails. 724 Mera Loop is just 0.2 miles away, and 790 Link and 747 Upper Conley are each about 0.3 miles off. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in La Grande show July and August highs in the mid-80s with only three or four wet days a month, while winter brings highs near 39°F and a few snow days each month. That station sits about 1,000 feet lower than the route's high point, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. For more riding, Concert Hall and Fiddlers Hell are climbing areas about 3.4 miles away. Five Points Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 5 miles off.
