Be sure to swing by our vendor expo and check out booths from some great brands and organizations like, The Athletic with their new line of super tuff collection, Brave Endeavors and Special Blend Gravel coaching, shop the Marley Blonsky capsule from Shredly, or book your next fishing excursion with Littleleaf Guides!

The long climb out of Tygh Valley may seem mighty long when you’re pedaling up it and knowing that a massage awaits you can make that climb a lot easier.  

On Saturday only, after a long day in the saddle, bring your tired legs down to the massage tent from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. Our therapists use a variety of Swedish, deep-tissue and sports massage styles to keep you riding strong all weekend. Massage relieves muscle pain and tightness by stimulating circulation, helping you recover after extreme exertion and stopping spasms before they stop you from riding. Massage can be tailored to your pressure preferences and to the areas where you need it most.  

Pre-booking is available! To pre-book an appointment, please visit the Cycle Oregon Massage Team’s Web site. Under the ‘2025 event schedule’, you’ll find contact information for the massage therapists available for the Joyride Event.

Massage rates are $110.00 for a 50-minute appointment and $165.00 for an 80-minute appointment. We accept all major cards or cash. A limited number of 30-minute appointments may be available the day of the ride. Come to the massage tent directly to inquire.

Yoga is an excellent way to tame sore muscles, relax and stay flexible after a long day’s bicycle ride. Classes are free to all Cycle Oregon riders and mats are provided. 

Classes are one hour in length:

• Class 1 – 3:45 p.m. on Friday 

• Class 2 – 4:00 p.m. on Saturday  

• Class 3 – 6:30 a.m. on Sunday 

Medical services will be available on the course and at the overnight site from Adventure Medics. There is no charge for medical services on the course or at the site. If you require transportation to or from a local medical facility, you will be financially responsible for transportation and medical services there.

With a focus on sustainability and an appreciation for what Ride with GPS offers our community we will NOT be handing out printed maps at the event. All daily routes will be thoroughly signed by Cycle Oregon so, if you choose, you don’t need to have maps in any form for navigation. 

DAY 1 MAP with cues 

DAY 2 MAP with cues 

Each route features at least one rest, lunch or water stop with some routes including up to four.  The route map will detail these locations and services. Large maps will be on display at Rider Services and will note the location of the stops along each route. Rest Stop signs alert riders when one is ahead. Rest Stops are generally open from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. (3:00 p.m. on Sunday). 

On Saturday, lunch will be served on the course for the main, long, and gravel routes and will be served in camp for the short route (11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.).  

On Sunday, lunch will be served on course for all route options at White River Falls State Park. 

Lunch sites will be complete with food, beverages, restrooms, water, and bike mechanics.

Lunch on course: 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Lunch on site: 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. 

Gear drop will be at the lunch stop on Saturday and at the first rest stop on Sunday. 

You can drop off a limited amount of clothing to be taken back to the evening’s campsite. This service is for small items such as jackets, tights, leggings, gloves, etc. No half-eaten bananas, half-stuffed panniers or other oddities will be transported. Gear drop can be picked up near Rider Services, generally between 4 and 5 p.m. 

If at any time you need assistance, please signal a SAG vehicle with a “thumbs down” signal. If you do get into a SAG vehicle, you may not be transported directly to camp. SAG vehicles usually wait until they are full to go back to camp. 

SAGs are available to transport cyclists due to mechanical problems or injuries. They also have plenty of extra water, sunscreen, and encouraging words (if needed). 

Trek Bicycle PDX will have mechanics in camp and on course. They will make basic repairs in order to get you through the weekend and do their best to have available parts (supplies are limited nationally). If you have specialized/specific parts (i.e. spokes, brake pads) please bring your own parts and they will install them if necessary to keep you on the road. 

Adventure Medics provides around-the-clock medical support on the course and in camp. If you require medical attention on course, you should notify a SAG vehicle, ambulance, or staff vehicle with the “thumbs down” signal. 

If you or someone near you is having an emergency, do not hesitate to dial 911. Often one of our medical team will pick up the call on their radio. 

Extensive Communications 

You have lots of help on the road in case of an emergency. HAM radio operators provide emergency and logistical communication. HAM radio operators ride in SAG vehicles so that event managers, medical services and staff are in touch at all times. If no one is around to assist in the event of an emergency, call 911. 

Please note: There is no charge for medical services rendered on the course or at the overnight site. We will not transport you to a medical facility unless it is a critical situation. If you require transport by Adventure Medics, a local ambulance, or helicopter, you will be financially responsible for any resulting charges. You are also financially responsible for any services provided by local medical facilities. 

Medical 

Go to the medical tent, as a medic will be on call at all times. If no one is in the tent, knock on the van door. 

Evacuation 

Announcements throughout the campsite will alert the riders to prepare for evacuation. Please go immediately to the Main Stage for instructions. 

Severe Weather 

Harsh weather may warrant the use of contingency facilities for shelter, if available. Details will be announced from the Main Stage. In the event of lightning, seek low ground and get away from metal.
