Trip Reports

In August 2002 Linda and I joined Oregon Bicycle Ride 2002, a supported bicycle camping tour traveling a loop in Central Oregon out of Bend. Our last Oregon Bicycle Ride had been Oregon Bicycle Ride 1999. Since then we had tried several other tours, including the Bicycle Idaho tours organized by the same company. This year we decided to return. It was particularly convenient for us since it began and ended in our home town.

The Oregon Bicycle Ride 2002 was organized by Bicycle Rides Northwest, a company based in Bend, Oregon.

In August 1999 Linda and I joined Oregon Bicycle Ride 1999, a supported bicycle camping tour traveling a loop in Northeast Oregon out of Pendleton. This was our third consecutive year on the Oregon Bicycle Ride, after Oregon Bicycle Ride 1997 and Oregon Bicycle Ride 1998.

The OBR was becoming an annual event for us. We especially looked forward to touring around the Wallowa Mountains of Northeastern Oregon. As always, the tour was organized by Bicycle Rides Northwest, a company based in Bend, Oregon.

In August 1998 Linda and I joined Oregon Bicycle Ride 1998, a supported bicycle camping tour traveling in Oregon from Frenchglen to Cascade Locks. This was our second consecutive year on the Oregon Bicycle Ride. We were hooked on OBR tours by the end of last year’s tour and immediately planned to join the tour again in 1998.

This tour was organized again by Bicycle Rides Northwest, a company based in Bend, Oregon.
