Cycle Oregon Announces 2010 Route »
Cylce Oregon includes a weekend ride in July, and a week long tour in September.
Race founder and longtime master of ceremonies Jonathan Nicholas said the weekend ride in July will be at Monmouth, based at Western Oregon University. This is more of a family ride, with a kids camp and activities for younger riders. It will also include covered bridges and an option for a 100-mile ride on the first day.
The week-long ride in September will include a loop in Eastern Oregon and Idaho, and a stopover at the 100th anniversary edition of the Pendleton Round-Up rodeo. Starting Sept. 12 in Elgin, the route includes a night in Enterprise, a cross of the state border into Washington for layovers in Clarkston and Waitsburg, a cross back into Oregon for a two-night stop in Pendleton (with an optional 55-mile run in the morning) and a final day of serious climbing back to Elgin.
Details and maps are available at the Cycle Oregon Web site.
