Group Ride, Bend, Oregon 48 miles and 1,500 feet
Oh my, the rain is packing down the dirt and turning this into PERFECT riding conditions. Big, Big Red starts outside of Bend, takes us through La Pine State Park for all sorts of river hugging fun.

Group Bike Ride, Sisters Oregon 42 miles and 1,700 feet
A bit of a gamble, but fingers crossed that this ride will go off. The past few days have been almost smokeless so why not give it a go … the ride is Gravel Cracker but we are going to find a way to skip the famous gravel cracker hill. Which means we will weasel our way through Black Butte … by hook or by crook. (If you have a good version […]
Group Gravel Bike Ride: Bend, Oregon 48 miles and 1,500 feet
Big, Big Red is a great ride, perfect for a warmer day because, because, because… the route is water hugging water … we have a water stop with drinkable water … climbing is minimal … and there are plenty of points to just punch out should 48 miles feel like it’s getting too long. There’s also plenty of tree coverage, including […]
Group Gravel Ride: 36 miles, 3,200 feet of gain Post OR
Post is the dead center of Oregon surrounded by the Ochoco National Forest.

The riding is superb … the route boasts one of […]

Group Gravel Ride: Suttle Lake, Oregon
Hot diggity … it’s the perfect time of year to ride. We love water-seeking routes that let us take a dip if it gets too hot. And routes with places to fill up empty water bottles. So why not tackle Sherman’s Waltz, but with the Suttle Lake start so we can dive in the lake after.
43 miles, 3,000 feet of climbing
July 25th, Suttle […]
Behind every route is scouting, mapping, storytelling, and a whole lot of pedal power.
