Bend Area Cycling Enthusiasts (BACE)

Slower than the usual Intermeasy. If you ride with Kirk, Burt, or Pat when they lead a ride, this ride is not for you. As BACE ride leaders we want to give slower riders a BACE ride in which they can feel comfortable. Please don't sign-up for this ride if you are a medium speed or fast rider. No one left behind. We will have a sweep person, my husband Mark.

The ride: We will meet at the parking area at the base of Tylers Traverse. Arrive at 9:15 am for 9:30 pre-ride introductions and the route explanation, then we will start the ride. We will ride out a gravel road to Slough Camp where we will pick up the River Trail and ride along the river all the way to Sunriver. There we will take the Sunriver paved paths to Rounabout trail, where will start an ascent up to Afternoon Delight. There's more uphill on Afternoon Delight, then the downhill on Afternoon Delight takes us to where our cars are parked.

Distance: 13 miles.
Climbing: 826 feet
About 2-2.5 hours pending the speed of the group. No one left behind.
Lunch afterwards. To be announced where at meet time.

Only a couple snow patches left in the high country trails. With that, comes flowers and lush views (and some mosquitoes). This is one of my favorite rides before all of Flagline opens in a couple weeks. It’ll be an intermediate ride. There are some pitchy climbs on Met-Win and Flagline, but we also get fun downhill on some of those lines. You can check out the route using this link.

I also suggest we get post ride lunch at the food trucks at Deschutes Brewery.
