Picnic Day Road Ride – Tumalo Loop – 22 miles
June 22, 2022 @ 1:45 am - 4:00 am
Organizer: Mary Fajer 503-369-2914 or [email protected]
THIS RIDE IS A PRELUDE TO OUR BEND BELLA PICNIC!
We will meet at the Tumalo Coffee House at 19855 4th Street in Tumalo at 8:30am for a brief info meeting and then roll out onto the route at 8:45am sharp as we have a fun picnic to attend! There is a restroom at the coffee house. There are no restrooms along the route.
**Our pace will be a comfortable 11-13mph and we will regroup periodically. Please don’t sign up if you are a stronger, faster rider, or you cannot ride 22 miles at this pace.
**We will travel on mostly low traffic roads, however, there is a very short 1/2 mile stretch on Hwy 20. Also, we will cross Hwy 20 twice, so be careful. This route takes us on much of the Twin Bridges Scenic Bikeway (including three-ass-pass) with beautiful mountain views and an awesome countryside.
