Come take a lovely tour of Bend, mostly along the canals and trails and see hidden waterfalls. The trail is mostly flat with few hills. The ride isn’t difficult but be sure you can do 1.5+ hours and 14 miles. We will take breaks as needed.
Doable on a mountain bike, but not a road bike with skinny tires.
