Overview

Discover and explore what we ultimately strive for in a cycling vacation–which is to simply “Pedal Happy”. Relish riding roads through forests of tall timbers beside sparkling rivers and snow-crowned peaks. Cycle through lava fields and mountain vistas on the McKenzie Pass Scenic Byway. Explore the brewpub-and-outdoor-lover's paradise of Bend, Oregon. Hike Central Oregon’s surreal high desert. Spend two days in stunning Crater Lake National Park, and ride around the volcanic rim of the deepest lake in the United States.
