    Oregon Cycling Event to Benefit Two Rivers

    Join the National Forest Foundation, the Sisters Chamber of Commerce, and title sponsor ODS on the Ride for Two Rivers, a bicycle tour of the stunning McKenzie Pass to benefit two Wild and Scenic Rivers.  The Metolius River and Whychus Creek  frame the town of Sisters, Oregon and are surrounded by the Deschutes National Forest. Both of these rivers are home to threated fish species and are in need of restoration. Come cycle with your friends and family through incredible forested landscapes and striking fields of lava while helping to support restoration of two beautiful rivers.

    Ride proceeds will directly support on the ground conservation and restoration projects within the National Forest Foundation’s Treasured Landscapes campaign site encompassing these watersheds. The goals of these restoration efforts are to enhance recreational opportunities, while improving the health of the rivers and wildlife habitat. The NFF and partners are striving to improve in-stream habitat in support of the groundbreaking return of steelhead and sockeye salmon, which are coming home in increasing numbers to Whychus Creek and the Metolius River.

    The route will take riders up McKenzie Pass which is one of the most spectacular rides in the state. This late spring training ride is not to be missed! The ride begins at Village Green Park in Sisters, Oregon and winds its way through a forested landscape to the top of the spectacular lava rock moonscape of McKenzie Pass, offering pristine mountain views along the way. This is a unique opportunity to ride on the pass road before it is open to motor vehicles. Riders will coast back to Sisters and to FivePine Lodge where they can enjoy an evening dinner. This fully supported ride is the perfect way to use your pedal power for good! Enjoy the journey.
