NEW RIDES
The beauty of the Columbia River Gorge is enhanced by the fact
that it boasts hundreds of miles of twisties. Because of this, our
suggested rides change from year to year. It's not possible to ride
all the great roads here in a single rally, so we mix it up
year-to-year. All attendees get free ride maps complete with
turn-by-turn directions and riding skills tips. Optional MapSource
GPS files are available for download once you arrive.
