Every Mile Counts
We have a new route!
Join us on a mission to make a difference for everyone who breathes. We are very excited to announce that on May 20, 2023, we will be riding to Astoria! The new route starts on Sauvie Island and ends at the Astoria-Megler Bridge. There will be four ride lengths: 100m, 65m, 32m, 10m, and the option to Cycle Your Way. This bike ride is perfect as a personal challenge, an opportunity to explore a new route to the coast, and a way to stay active. The in-person and Cycle Your Way options both have amazing support throughout the campaign! We provide superb organization, beautiful routes, numerous social events, regular training challenges, excellent fundraising support, and more!
