Fellow Oregonians: What riding events are you doing this year?
With the nicer weather soon to be upon us (still waiting for it here in Bend, LOL) I just thought I'd ask my fellow Oregonians (or anyone doing Oregon rides) what, if any, organized ride events you're planning on taking part in this year? My goal is to do at least two events (which two is still being considered).

Not really organized, but;
Crater Lake loop, before they open the road to cars.
Steens Mountain Loop road, before they open the road to cars.
McKenzie Highway, before they open the gates....for cars.
I've ridden the Crater Lake loop, have not done the other two. With the abundant snowpack it may be August.
If you are in Bend, come out for the Web Cyclery spring ride, April 13th. https://webcyclery.com/home.php

I'm doing the Gorge Ride in June, and I'm helping putting on a ride here in Maupin. If you are interested in the Maupin ride, there are pictures and more information, way down in this NW forum now. I did the Gorge ride last year, and it is very nice!

Thanks for the information. I just emailed some gearhead buddies to see if they want to do this ride

What Poprad said.
Those are the ones I registered for at least. Also looking at Monster Cookie in Salem, the aforementioned Maupin based ride, Pioneer and Peach. Undecided about Reach the Beach. Other stuff as it comes up and looks interesting.

I am hoping to complete two brevet series with the Oregon Randonneurs. The first 200k brevet is this Saturday, Forest Grove-Vernonia-Birkenfeld.

+1 for STP and Cycle Oregon (I was born and raised in Oregon so I hope I'm not an intruder on this thread).
