Explore Cycle Oregon
Near the summit of Mt. Bachelor 2018
Join in for some end of summer adventure on these club rides in Central Oregon. You trained hard, you’re ready for anything, so venture across the Cascades and explore some new terrain.
Late summer in the high desert in Central Oregon is invariably ideal for cycling. Crisp mornings lead to warm dry days, the mountain air smells like manzanita, traffic is light, and the scenery is breathtaking.

Mt. Bachelor Classic: Distance 62 miles. Leaves at 9:30. Late Summer in the high desert in Central Oregon is ideal for cycling.
