D'yer Mak'er is a mountain biking route in Oregon, about half a mile from the town of Keas Corner. It's an out-and-back ride that climbs from a low point of 919 feet to a high of 1,613 feet, with a total gain of 1,364 feet over the round trip. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.36 miles in, where the grade reaches 36 percent, and the route is rated expert. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Corvallis show July and August highs in the low 80s with only about three wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the upper 40s and rain on most days. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Short Cut is a hike about 0.4 miles away, and Forest Peak West Ridge Road, another mountain biking route, is about 0.6 miles off. Lunch Counter and Lookout Saddle Tie are both within a mile.
