The club does not teach mountain biking. But more experienced members often serve as mentors for those seeking to expand their skills.

Unlike other clubs, the Bellas do not have designated ride leaders. Any member can lead a ride. The type of ride is determined by the person who coordinates the ride.

During the winter months, club members often organize winter sports including nordic skiing, snowshoeing, and fat biking in the snow.

Many Bellas enjoy organizing kayaking and SUP activities on the Cascade Lakes.

The Bellas started organizing more hiking trips in 2019. Hikes have included Green Lakes, Broken Top and Smith Rock.


The Bellas is a social club. Many rides end with lunch in a local cafe or coffee shop. Members also host various social events in their homes. And the club hosts a monthly book club.

The Bellas volunteer their time for many local charities, including cleaning up local trails with COTA.

How do I sign up for a ride?
Signing up for a ride is easy. The Bellas schedule their rides and events on Meetup. Once you become a member you will be sent a link to the Bella Meetup Page by the club administrator. Once on Meetup you can join a ride, communicate with other members through Meetup messages, and schedule rides and events.
How do I become a ride leader?
Anyone in the Bellas can lead a ride. Not seeing rides that fit your style or your schedule, then step up and lead a ride. With that said it’s probably best that new members attend several Bella rides first to learn how we classify rides and protocol for the rides. For more information click HERE.
