785 Fractured Zone is a short, steep mountain biking route in Oregon, about half a mile long and roughly 200 feet of elevation gain one way. It is an out-and-back, with the high point at 4,733 feet and the low at 4,506 feet. The climb starts at about 4,705 feet, and the steepest stretch comes within the first 0.14 miles, with a grade of 17 percent. The nearest town is Perry, about 5 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Meacham show July and August highs around 79°F with only about four wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-30s and rain on 17 days a month. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the route, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Two other mountain biking routes, 789 Doing Time and 716 Caffine, sit about 0.1 mile away. The 320 Ridgeline hike is 0.2 mile off, and the Concert Hall climbing area is about 3 miles away.
