Are you up to it Ride: Cycling the Hills

Planning to Cycle Oregon? Test your mettle on two days of fully supported rides with challenging hills and quiet, paved roads. You may ride either a full century, or chose a shorter ride option of 68 challenging miles.

August 15: Ride Mitchell to Service Creek (32 miles, 3200’ elevation gain) and return to Mitchell via  Rowe Creek, Twickenham and Girds Canyon (32 miles, 2800’ elevation gain) Most hills are long—both up-hill and down, so your legs and lungs will be tested.  En-route you’ll see spectacular scenery, and experience some exhilarating down-hills.  If you wish a shorter ride, plan to ride to Service Creek on Day 1, and ride the van back to Mitchell!

August 16: A 40 mile ride from Mitchell to the Painted Hills, and on to Ochoco Summit (A long, constant, 3,000-foot climb.)

Package includes accommodations at Painted Hills Bed and Breakfast or Oregon Hotel August 14-15, breakfast on the 15 and 16, and sack lunches , as well as ride support and transportation, and PaleoLands cycling tee. $295, Painted Hills; $225, Oregon Hotel.
