Here’s the daily breakdown of the ride: Click for full routes on. To get a better sense of what to expect, check out the photos and reports I did from a trip on these same routes back in 2014. I’ve done these rides and can vouch not only for the excellent routes and mind-blowing landscapes they roll through but also for the world-class hospitality of Treo proprietors Phil and Cathy Carlson. I’m not just promoting this trip because Treo is paying me. Treo Bike Tours has put together a “Journey Through Time” ride that departs from Portland on August 25th and they have a limited number of spaces available.įor $565, you’ll get an all-inclusive ride that includes, lodging, food and snacks, full ride support, and door-to-door shuttle service (via a fully-stocked bus with nice big windows) from Portland to the dream-worthy roads of eastern Oregon. Now imagine doing it in a weekend with all-inclusive support from one of Oregon’s premier bike tour operators.
Imagine following in the tracks of Oregon Trail pioneers and ancient dinosaurs from the perfect perch of your bicycle. Note: This post is part of a paid promotional partnership between BikePortland and Treo Bike Tours. Fly down smooth and nearly empty roads as you cross the John Day River at Cottonwood Canyon State Park.
