786 Compound Fracture is a black diamond mountain biking trail in Oregon, about 5 miles from the town of Perry. It is an ultra-short, out-and-back route of roughly 0.13 miles, with a total climb of about 320 feet. The trail is intensely technical, with mixed surface terrain that demands advanced bike handling and precise line choice through a concentrated section of gnarly features. Because it is an out-and-back, riders face the same technical gauntlet twice, making it a session spot for skilled riders testing their limits on Oregon's demanding terrain. The most comfortable months for riding are typically late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in La Grande show June highs around 75°F and September highs around 77°F, with July and August the warmest at about 86 to 87°F. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Several other trails sit close by. 790 Link and 790 Ride On are each about 0.1 mile away, and 785 Fractured Zone is about 0.2 mile off. Climbers can find Concert Hall about 3.4 miles away.
