Capitol Cup Criterium 2010

Ride Oregon Staff — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:00:18 +0000

A pancake-flat 0.7 mile, four-corner rectangular course, surrounding the Oregon State Capitol building and directly adjacent to the Willamette University campus. Most of the road is in very good condition. There is, appropriately for our race’s early spring timing, a stretch of “pavé”: Waverly Street’s pavement is broken; the potholes will be clearly marked, but please ride the course before your race and get to know this short stretch of road.

Camp Bike Fun

Ride Oregon Staff — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:58:48 +0000

From June through August 2010, North Portland BikeWorks will host Camp Bike Fun. The camp is run in two – three week sessions and takes kids ages 10 – 15 out in the lovely Portland summer on bikes.

Camp Bike Fun will teach bike safety, rules of the road and riding as a group, and take kids on fun, adventure-seeking trips. The fun excursions will take the youth throughout Portland to different community organizations or places of interest.

BikeWorks can provide bikes and helmets if necessary. Some financial aid scholarships are available.

This camp is supported by BikeWorks and the Bicycle Transportation Alliance.

The Gorge Ride

Ride Oregon Staff — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:52:22 +0000

Get on your bike and experience the “King of Roads,” the Historic Columbia River Highway (HCRH), America’s first scenic highway. The Friends of the Historic Columbia River Highway, a nonprofit organization, is organizing the fourth annual Gorge Ride. This gorgeous route starts from the Gorge Discovery Center in The Dalles and travels along this majestic road and the HCRH State Trail. The ride goes all the way to the Senator Mark O. Hatfield West Trailhead near Hood River then returns to the start. This route with world-class scenery is a combination of historic highway that is open to motor vehicles and the quiet HCRH State Trail that is open only to hikers and cyclists.

Highlights of the 38.5 mile ride include the breathtaking panorama at Rowena Crest, a special visit to the grounds of the historic Mayerdale Estate and a remarkable journey through the restored Mosier Twin Tunnels. The proceeds from this fully supported ride go toward restoring and reconnecting the Historic Columbia River Highway and State Trail from The Dalles to Troutdale by its 100th Birthday, June 7, 2016.
