Ride the Range
July 21–28, 2018

The 2018 route will transport you back to when the pioneers came upon this land of bounty – from your bike, you’ll be reminded why this was a promised land for so many. Roll through deep, shady forests of huge timber. Across verdant high prairies with grass waving in the wind. Beneath craggy outcrops and snow-peaked mountains. Along clear, pristine rivers that wind unimpeded for miles.

Along the way, you’ll spend the night where the coldest temperature was ever recorded in Oregon (don’t worry, it wasn’t in July!); pose for pictures beneath one of the largest covered wagons in existence; explore centuries-old gold mining operations; ascend and descend a strikingly beautiful mountain few have ridden; savor the view of an alpine lake ringed by forest beneath a looming peak; and maybe even pedal alongside a band of wild horses.

This route showcases the multitude of elements that make Eastern Oregon a great place to ride. If you haven’t traveled these roads at the speed of bike, we’ll show you Oregon on a whole new level.

This is a 450 mile ride beginning and ending in Seneca.
