Important Updates

  • Only registered Rider Guests can bring vehicles on the event. Do not plan on driving along the route or entering camp (regardless of the vehicle make and size). Rider Guest spaces are sold out for the event. 
  • The deadline to receive a refund for registration has passed.

 

Connectivity

You will be travelling through rural Oregon. Cell towers are sparse on the route and WiFi is non-existent in camp.

This is not to say that you’ll be cut off from the rest of the world, just that you should have lower expectations. You may not be able to post that sweet video of your ride to Wallowa Lake to Facebook right away.

Pro tip 1: If you’re trying to meet up with a group of people in camp, send texts. They tend to get through more reliably than phone calls. Or go analog and leave a note on the Rider Services message board.

Pro tip 2: If your Garmin, iPhone, Kindle, etc. is an absolute necessity, consider signing up for the charging service with the Community Cycling Center. There are very few places to plug in around camp.

Pro tip 3: Bring a book! It is still possible to entertain yourself without the internet.

 

What to Pack

The gear bag you bring to store your belongings should be waterproof and made of sturdy material so that it holds up through the week. You can only bring one bag including your tent and all other items, and it must weigh 65 pounds or less. Click here for a printable list of what to bring and click here for some expert tips on packing.

 

Transportation Logistics

If you don’t have all your transportation logistics set – bike shipping, parking pass, bus tickets from the Portland airport, etc. – we recommend you have a good look at the Transportation Reminders section of Ride Guide Vol II.

Bike Gallery can assemble your bike after you arrive for $60. If you need your bike disassembled and boxed at ride’s end, the fee is $85. Sign up for both for $125. You can pre-pay for both services here until August 30th.

 

Arriving and Departing

Check-In and Packet Pick-Up – After you arrive in Baker City and have settled in, you’ll need to check in and pick up your rider packet. Each rider will sign the ride waiver when picking up their packet. The rider packet contains a wristband, bike number, baggage tag, and course maps. (You will not be able to pick up a packet for someone else)

Bring a photo ID to show the volunteers in order to receive your packet.

Once we affix your wristband, it should not be removed unless you choose to leave the ride. Until you have checked in and are wearing a wristband, you will not be identified as a participant and will not have access to meals, course support, etc. If you leave the ride, it is important that you check out with Rider Services to let them know you are leaving.

Packet Pickup Hours

  • Friday // Sep 7 // 6 to 9 p.m.
  • Saturday // Sep 8 //  11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Cycle Oregon will provide three meals per day during the event (except on Days 0 and 7). Both dinner and breakfast are served at the overnight site, and lunch is served only on the course.

Entertainment

Main Stage and Headliner Schedule

Join us each evening at the main stage for some amazing music. There will also be guest speakers each night, important announcements, and information about the next day’s ride. Take a look at Rider Services each day for a full schedule. One note, there will not be a bike rodeo this year.

  • 7 – 7:30 p.m.- Short set from headliner band
  • 7:30 p.m. – Nightly announcements
  • 8:00 p.m. – Headliner band

Saturday – Baker City: Black Dolly – Made up of talented musicians from the Pacific NW, Black Dolly is full of soulful jams and smooth grooves. The BD band is a culmination of several years of development and recording. Started by Chris Newbury and his wife Wendy, the band was really formed by a desire for Chris to give Wendy a recording session for their anniversary.  Chris utilized the help of his long time friends and musical collaborators Eddie Ramirez(Israel Houghton, Johnny Ramirez), Frazer Wambeke(Frazer Wambeke Group), Luke Basile(Rainmaker Studios), and Ryan Matzinger(Ike Turner) to record the Dianne Reeves cover of Fleetwood Mac’s hit “Dreams”.  The project was enough of a success that Chris decided to formally pursue an official group.

Sunday – Halfway: Wasteland Kings – Together since 2008, the Americana sound of The Wasteland Kings has packed bars, clubs and festivals all over the Pacific Northwest. With the gritty blues vocals of Kris Mallory and Holly Sorensen, WLK bring an edge to every single song they do.

Monday – Wallowa Lake: Brady Goss – Born in Corvallis OR, but raised in Wallowa OR, Brady’s roots go deep in the region through which we are riding. Identified at an early age as a rare and phenomenal piano talent, his chops as an entertainer grew hand in glove with piano playing. We’re so pleased to have Brady with us so close to his home.

Tuesday – Elgin: Brewers Grade – Brewers Grade Band continues to blaze their own trail, bringing their unique brand of Northwest Country music to the next level. Band member Joe Smart’s recent Grammy win recognizing his work on the O’Connor Band’s “Coming Home” Album of the Year has led to some exciting opportunities to collaborate with music’s biggest names including Paul Simon and Zac Brown Band! This has helped build even more momentum for the group leading to the main stage at many of the west coast’s top festivals and events, genre-bending studio sessions and co-writes, an independent film soundtrack credit and more opportunities to create and collaborate in the Northwest, Nashville and beyond! They continue to push the envelope and advance their role as one of the region’s most sought after independent artists all while staying true to their Northwest Country roots.

Wednesday – Pendleton: Coyote Kings with Tiphony Dames – The Coyoyte Kings with Tiphony Dames is a longtime favorite through out the NE blues/blues rock scene. Though the band’s lineup has evolved over the years, the constant through it all is amazing musicianship, great performances and great songs.

Thursday – Pendleton: JD Kindle and the Eastern OR Playboys – Per the band’s bio – “While traveling in search of a new population to save, James Dean Kindle stumbled upon a band of paupers playing for rats in the alley behind the Rainbow in Pendleton, Oregon. Their clothes in tatters and their bellies lean, The Eastern Oregon Playboys couldn’t refuse Kindle’s offer: “Play as my band and I will grant you three wishes…” Eschewing common convention of bios listing other musicians who have influenced their sound, JD Kindle and the Eastern Oregon Playboys go another route and simply cite Pendleton Whiskey as a main influence. We can’t wait!

Friday – La Grande: Karaoke from Hell is a Portland-based live karaoke band – they play, you sing! What’s better after a day in the saddle? KFH are long-time friends of Cycle Oregon, and we’re pleased to have them back with us again in 2018!

Saturday – Baker City (Lunch): Peter Barton – P. Barton’s performances take you through a musical landscape that includes alternative, folk, americanna, bluegrass and pure spontaneity – kind of like the landscapes through which we’ve just ridden. While each performance is different, the energy and spirit always comes through. Building on a foundation of finger-style and flat-picked guitar, Barton mixes vocals, percussion, harmonica, banjo, and slide to create a variety of sounds from his one man show. Creating each sound entirely through live performance makes each song and each show unique.

Rules of the Road

The number one priority of Cycle Oregon is your safety. Therefore, here are a few rules we insist you follow:

 1.  Only bicycles propelled exclusively by human power are allowed to participate in a Cycle Oregon sponsored event.

 2.  Helmets and two water bottles (or equivalent) are required on Cycle Oregon. The use of rear-view mirrors is recommended as a safety measure.

3.  Cycle Oregon uses a group of Safety Patrol volunteers on motorcycle who provide an on-course presence and are a good source of information or assistance during the ride. They enhance the overall safety of the ride by interacting with riders who may pose a hazard by unlawful or unsafe riding. Heed their advice.

4.  By Oregon law, bicyclists are operators of vehicles and must comply with all traffic laws.Cycle Oregon reserves the right to expel any participant who demonstrates a reluctance to ride in a safe and lawful manner. Riders who violate safety laws in the Oregon motor vehicle code are also subject to citation by law enforcement officials.

5.  The Cycle Oregon course is open for designated hours. Course support vehicles and other support services are available only during course hours. Any cyclist(s) still on the course after the designated closing time will be offered a ride to camp; if you choose not to take it you are on your own to get into camp and no course support services will be available for those who choose to stay out.

SAG support is to be used for mechanical and/or medical reasons only. Excessive use of SAG support (3 or more times) for any other reason may exclude participants from registering for future Cycle Oregon events.

7.  The course will be clearly marked. If you leave the official course, you are not part of the ride and will not receive any services or support.

8.  We try to direct as much vehicle traffic as possible off the route. Nevertheless, the tour travels on public highways. Therefore, ride no more than two abreast. Ride beside a pal only where it is safe to do so, and where you do not block traffic or force other riders to swing far out to pass.

9.  Never draft behind a vehicle. Pace lines are prohibited in areas of high vehicle or cyclist traffic and are limited in size to a maximum of seven riders. Be especially careful at railroad tracks, cattle guards, and busy intersections. Course monitors and safety vehicles may be stationed in areas of special concern.

10.  Call “ON YOUR LEFT” to alert a rider you intend to pass. The call “CAR BACK” passes the message forward when a vehicle is approaching from behind. Use arm signals to indicate turns. Point out potholes, broken glass and other hazards to those behind you. Signal your intention to stop, and pull off the roadway.

11.  Use of headphones while riding on Cycle Oregon is highly discouraged. Safe group riding in an event such as Cycle Oregon depends on communication between cyclists. Headphones interfere with that process and make it difficult for people to hear instructions such as “CAR BACK” and “ON YOUR LEFT.” Headphones also make it difficult to hear approaching cars or trucks, negatively impacting the safety of cyclists and motorists.

12.  Cycle Oregon enjoys a reputation for leaving our campsites, lunch spots, rest stops, and course spotless. Please dispose of all trash, recyclables, and compostables in the appropriate places.

13.  Cyclists must keep the roadway clear when stopping at an event-designated stop or any other location. Please ensure that bicycles are parked off the road and that cyclists do not congregate on the roadways.

14.  Cycle Oregon includes at least one roadside water stop each day, along with assorted drinks at meals and all rest stops. Still, the responsibility for carrying sufficient water and remaining properly hydrated is yours. Make sure you drink extra fluids before, during, and after the ride to reduce the risk of dehydration. While in the saddle, you should consume an average of one liter of fluid for each hour of riding. Drink before you become thirsty. By the time you feel thirsty, you are already slightly dehydrated. Muscle cramping can also be a sign of dehydration. If at any time you run low on water, signal a SAG van with a “thumbs down” and ask for a fill-up. Do not be tempted by roadside rivers and streams, as the water may contain bacteria or parasites.

 

Emergency Information

In extreme emergencies, family members can contact a rider by calling the Oregon State Police at 541-776-6111. Please ask them to send an urgent message to Cycle Oregon officials. Bear in mind that it may take up to 12 hours to locate a rider and relay a message.

Extensive Communications – HAM radio operators provide emergency and logistical communication for Cycle Oregon. HAM radio operators ride in most Cycle Oregon vehicles so that event managers, medical services, and all staff are in touch at all times.

Motorcycle Police – Clackamas County Sheriff’s Deputies accompany Cycle Oregon each day. These officers have full authority to enforce the motor vehicle code. They can be contacted for any emergency issues on the course.

Ambulance Service – MetroWest provides four Advance Life Support ambulances that give around-the-clock medical support on the course and in camp. If you require medical attention on the course, you should notify a SAG van, ambulance or staff vehicle with the “thumbs down” signal.

There is no charge for medical services rendered by MetroWest on the course or at the campsite. MetroWest will not transport you to a medical facility unless it is a critical situation. If you require transport using MetroWest, 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.

You can help in an emergency. If you witness an accident on the course, please do the following:

  1. Do not hesitate to call 911 on route. Often this will be the fastest way to get help.
  2. Do not move the injured rider, especially if you suspect a head or spinal injury.
  3. Notify a passing ambulance, SAG wagon or staff vehicle with the “thumbs down” signal.
  4. Take care of yourself. Do not step into the path of vehicle traffic.
  5. Keep the injured person calm.
  6. Once a Cycle Oregon official is on the scene and you have given a statement, please continue on the ride.

Medical Emergency in camp: Go to the medical tent, as a medic will be on call at all times.

Evacuation: PA 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.
