The Deschutes County Historical Society, Deschutes County Historic Landmarks Commission, City of Bend Landmarks Commission, and City of Redmond Landmarks Commission, are partnering to celebrate the myriad of ways that historic preservation enhances our quality of life. 

Using two wheels, explore the Tumalo community, a folk arts studio, homesteads, churches, cemeteries, scenic parks and unique rock gardens, all on a Sunday! With routes planned that encompass Tumalo, Cline Falls Road, Twin Bridges Road, and Old Bend-Redmond Highway, there is a bit of everything to see and learn about National registered sites and Deschutes County sites and buildings. 

Tour includes guided interpretations of historic sites, food stops and SAG support. The tour begins at Tumalo Community Church (with the opportunity to “Ring the Bell for Historic Preservation” between 9am and 9:30am prior to the tour start), and offers a scenic 18-mile loop that goes along Twin Bridges Road and Bend-Redmond Hwy to Petersen Rock Garden. Park at the west side of the Tumalo church, at 19899 8th Street, on the Hwy 20 side of the Tumalo Art Gallery. 

The event is free. Participants must sign a waiver at the beginning of the tour, and have their own bicycles, helmets and water bottles. 

This is a non-Club event/ride.
