Progressive Tuesday C-Rides 

 Ride Classification Leader  GPS My Ride
C/26/Frequent Terry Belunes  Link


The second in a series of increasingly longer rides with the intent of increasing rider endurance. Rides are every Tuesday and ride length will generally increase by about 5 miles a week.

This week’s ride is a 26 mile route that starts at River Canyon Park, rides through DRW, and out Knott Road to China Hat Road. Traffic can be busy on Knott Road, but the distance is short.

China Hat is probably one of the prettiest rides in the area and includes great views of several parasitic volcanic cones associated with Newberry Crater, one of the largest calderas in the US. The Three Sisters, as well as other Cascade volcanoes, are also visible on the ride. Also of interest is Boyd Cave, part of the Arnold Ice Cave system, which can be found near where China Hat Road turns to gravel (our turnaround). This lava tube system is also associated with Newberry Crater. The ride is out and back, so we will follow the reverse route back to River Canyon Park.

The objective of the Progressive Tuesdays rides is to prepare riders for the longer rides like those associated with the Tour the De Chutes or the Firecracker 100. Rides will take place in the Tumalo area, China Hat road, and if interest supports, scenic bike rides like the Crooked River canyon or Sisters to Smith Rocks rides. These rides are a great way to increase endurance, learn about new ride routes, and enjoy the scenic beauty of rural of Oregon.
