50-Miler:
This route uses a majority of the State Scenic Bikeway Twin Bridges Loop. Fast rolling terrain, great mountain views, lots of farm and ranch land on mostly low-traffic roads highlight this ride. A pleasant pause on the Deschutes River at the Cline Falls State Park rest stop marks the halfway point. A quick climb back out of the canyon, and its more rolling terrain and great views as the route winds its way back to the town of Tumalo. From here, its a gentle climb back to Bend and the Post Ride Party.
Total gain: 2340 feet. Follow the BLUE arrows on the road.

- A NEW ROUTE CHANGE eliminates 3.6 miles of the Old Bend-Redmond Hwy. The new route has MUCH less traffic and is definitely MORE scenic. Enjoy!
