Ride The Rapids

RIDES

There are three course distances to maximize the views, riding experience and safety for cyclists of every level. At the end of all routes, we will host an event expo, music, beer garden and food carts at the Wasco County Fairgrounds.

METRIC CENTURY RIDE
The metric century ride starts with a climb out of Historic Tygh Valley and circles around the Pine Hollow Reservoir for the best views of Mt. Hood on the East Side. The ride then proceeds down to the Fairgrounds and follows a loop past White River Falls, Shearar Falls and along the Deschutes River before stopping at the future Maupin Deschutes River Athletic Complex. The 3-mile climb out of Maupin will take you to the Juniper Flats to then speed down toward the Wasco County Fairgrounds. 61 Mile Ride With GPS

39 MILE RIDE
The 39 mile ride has gentle rolling hills, spectacular views along the Deschutes River,  goes through the heart of Maupin and has a great spot to refuel at the future home of the Maupin Deschutes River Athletic Complex before a 3-mile climb out of town. Once you are on the Juniper Flats, the views of the cascade mountains surrounding the cyclists will keep the legs spinning all the way back to the Wasco County Fairgrounds. 39 Mile Route Map
 
20 MILE RIDE

This 20 mile ride takes you along the Deschutes River for the entire second half. With a total elevation loss of 965 feet, this course is perfect for families, beginers, and riders just wanting to get back into the swing of it.  Enjoy the views and make a stop at the White River Falls State Park before beginning your largest decent. Catch a shuttle back to Wasco County Fairgrounds to enjoy the Finish Festivities. 20 Mile Route Map
