JOYRIDE '26 – Cycle Oregon

About

Every Body. Every Bike. Every Joyride.

Joyride 2026 rolls into Pleasant Hill, a tucked-away gem in Oregon’s Willamette Valley that feels like it was custom made just for this weekend. With its patchwork of farm roads, sparkling lakes, shaded creeks, and the easygoing pace of local towns, this area captures everything Joyride is about: connection, rejuvenation, and the pure joy of being on a bike.

Choose from paved or gravel routes each day that wind past covered bridges, along the Willamette River, and through the scenic Elijah Bristow and Dexter State Recreation Sites. After the ride, unwind at camp with river views, yoga, live music, local food & drink and workshops to spark connection and confidence.

Joyride is curated by women – for women, female-identifying & nonbinary riders – and welcomes everyone from first-timers to seasoned cyclists. However you join in, you’ll find what keeps riders coming back year after year: “The positivity, the strength, and the acceptance from everyone around me. There’s no judgment here—just joy.”

Come ride, relax, and rediscover your kind of fun at Joyride 2026 in Pleasant Hill – a place where every turn of the pedal is better than the last.

Register for Joyride

New at Joyride this year: Kick things off at 5:00 pm with a Friday evening shakeout ride—about 10 easy-going miles of community, conversation and good vibes. These no-drop rides are guided by some of our favorite community partners who add flavor, creativity and a strong sense of place. Whether you’re rolling in solo or with friends, you’ll feel right at home. Back in camp, Trek Tech Support will be on hand to help fine-tune your bike before the big ride begins. Come early. Ride easy. Meet your people.

What Riders Say About Joyride

“Dance class at Joyride was so fun. It was such a great time and a great icebreaker to get everyone moving especially before the sparkle party which was a blast. It felt like adult summer camp in all the best ways. It was a safe space to be myself. To just let go and have fun!“

“This was overall an awesome experience – it felt like a real vacation not having to plan food and routes. We had a ton of fun!“

“I LOVED that you turned this into a weekend event- I have done the single day Joyride a few times and always had fun but the weekend made it sooooo fun and special!

The Radavist / Cycle Oregon Joyride: A Weekend Dream Camp for Women

– By Katie Sox / Published April 18, 2025

Excerpt: “The folks at Cycle Oregon threw one heck of a bike party at Justesen Ranch, a gorgeous spot nestled in the White River Canyon. They showed great care in creating an atmosphere that allowed riders to relax, enjoy daily supported cycling mixed-terrain routes of varied distance, participate in gravel skill clinics, yoga sessions, dance parties, and nightly entertainment, all while feeling at ease to be themselves. The catered meals were nutritious and delicious, the aid stations and lunch stops on the cycling routes hit the spot, and the scenery was downright spectacular.”

“Stacked with plenty of off-the-bike activities, this was a getaway for both folks who like to fill the whole day with excitement and those who prefer more time to chill and read by the river. Seasoned gravel junkies, die-hard pavement lovers, and complete novices, all found something to love at Joyride.”

The Jersey
Joyride’s short sleeve Ilex jersey is designed for comfort-first riding with high-performing details built in. Made from lightweight Q3 Lite fabric, it delivers excellent moisture-wicking to keep riders cool and dry throughout the day. With a relaxed fit, raglan sleeves, and no elastic at the sleeves or waist, it’s intentionally accommodating and easy to wear. A single drop rear pocket offers simple storage for essentials, making this jersey a natural fit for playful riding and casual pacing.

The Design
Inspired by creativity, color and off-the-bike fun, the Joyride jersey channels summer-camp energy for grown-ups. Influences from Willamette Valley fields, folk art, and natural patterns come together in a design that feels playful, expressive and comfortable. Just like the Joyride weekend itself.

Available Sizes: XS, S, MD, LG, XL, 2X, 3X in Women’s and Men’s fit.

E-Bike Charging

E-bikes are welcome on all Cycle Oregon courses for Joyride 2025. E-bikes are growing in popularity yet the infrastructure to support them is not always available nor guaranteed in all camp locations.

How it works: Ride all day on Saturday and when you return to camp, drop your bike or battery off to be charged (We recommend dropping it by no later than 4:00 pm). Enjoy the evening and grab your bike on your way back to your tent by 9:00 pm. Riders will be required to sign our e-bike agreement and pay a charging fee of $25 during registration.

Bike Repair

Rider Services

Look for the Rider Services trailer in camp. Here you can ask questions, meet friends, or locate missing items at lost and found. Rider Services is where you can shop for some great Cycle Oregon merchandise. We’ll have a limited number of this year’s ride jersey, tees, and a selection of Cycle Oregon merchandise.

Course Support
Cycle Oregon prides itself on providing a fully supported ride and plenty of route options for everyone’s style. Our goal is to help you finish each day’s ride. To that end, our course is complete with the following services and amenities.

Course Hours: 7:00 am– 4:00 pm (Sunday 3:30 pm)

Course support services are available only during the course hours. If you start before the course opens or are still riding after the course closes, there will be no support services available. All Cycle Oregon riders must be on the course by 9:00 am. Those still on the course after 4:00 pm (3:30 pm on Sunday) will be offered a ride to camp. If you choose not to take the ride you will be on your own to get back to camp.

Food and Drink on the Course

Lunch

Lunch will be served on the course or back in camp, depending on which route you choose to ride.
- In-camp: 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
- On-route: 8:00 am – 3:00 pm
Rest Stops

There will be 1-4 rest & water stops available along the route each day to provide water, drinks, lunch, and delicious snacks. A final site map will detail these locations and services.

Rest Stop signs alert riders when one is ahead. You can also see the location of each Rest Stop on the maps that will be inside the rider packet you receive when you check-in. Rest Stops are typically open from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Course Support

SAG Vehicles

There will be multiple SAG vehicles on the course each day. They are available to transport cyclists in cases of mechanical problems or medical injuries. They also have extra water, snacks, and sunscreen if needed. If at any time you need assistance, please signal a SAG with a “thumbs down” signal. If you do get into a SAG, you may not be transported directly to camp. The SAG vehicles usually wait until they are full to go to camp.

Moto Patrol and Bike Course Support

They provide support for riders along the event route, promoting the safety and welfare of our participants. They can relay information ranging from mechanical and safety issues to rider counts and the best place to get a milkshake.

Bike Mechanics

Trek Bicycle Portland returns as our tech support sponsor for the 38th consecutive year!

- Friday, June 12, from 3:00 – 9:00 pm
- Saturday, June 13, from 6:30 – 8:30 am
When you check in, you must show your photo ID. Once we affix your wristband, it should not be removed unless you leave the ride and do not plan on returning. The wristband is what identifies you as a participant and gives you access to meals and course support.

Do not pitch your tent or RV or Van prior to 3:00 pm on Friday. Check in is not available prior to the event.
Bike & Gear
As always, the best bike and gear to bring will be the one you are familiar with and comfortable riding. We do recommend that you or your bicycle have the capacity to carry two water bottles for proper hydration and to take full advantage of our renowned rest stops. Gravel-specific and touring bikes with 35-40c (or greater) tires and low gearing will thrive on our gravel options. All riders are required to wear a helmet.
