A saw blade of snowy volcanic peaks provides quite the backdrop for the Madras Mountain Views Scenic Bikeway. This 29-mile ride rolls through farm fields and skims along the canyon rim of Lake Billy Chinook. A word of advice from one cyclist to another: The scenery might get distracting, so you’ll want to pull over now and again to take it all in.
The route begins and ends in Madras, the lively hub for this sun-soaked Central Oregon basin. The bikeway quickly leaves the city behind as it climbs gently west, topping out on a broad plateau of ranch lands and crop rows. The Cascade Range suddenly rears up across the horizon, a string of snow-dusted peaks and buttes. Mount Jefferson stands front and center, flanked by Mount Hood to the north, then Three-Fingered Jack, Mount Washington, the Three Sisters, Broken Top and Mount Bachelor.
Unfortunately we have had to cancel the D and E rides. We have combined the B+ with the C's. This is a great Ride!
All riders should plan on downloading the route on their phone or GPS device.
