Joyride 2025
Justesen Ranch, July 18 - 20, 2025
About
Women’s Dream Camp
After an amazing time at the 2024 Joyride, we just had to do it again! We’re heading back to the dreamy Justesen Ranch, nestled alongside the White River, for another weekend of community, clinics, bikes and joy, for female identifying and nonbinary folks.
Tucked into the White River Canyon, this site is the perfect basecamp for a weekend retreat. Daily paved and gravel route options take you along wild and scenic rivers, across high plateau fields and surround you with views of the Cascades, including a spin on the Shear’s Falls Scenic Bikeway.
Back in camp, you can add to your adventure with trail runs, hiking, rafting, river plunges, clinics and games. And let’s not forget the dance party at night! If you have FOMO from missing our 2024 event, this is your chance to ride all day, connect with pals, and maybe try something new – like fly casting. We can’t wait to relive this unforgettable weekend with y’all, plus showcase some new magic that we have up our sleeves. Come together to play, ride, celebrate and sleep under the stars at Joyride.

Event Jersey
We are thrilled to have worked with local artist, Mika Rane on this amazing 2025 Joyride Jersey! Yee Haw!
Mika Rane is an illustrator, maker, and artist whose work is influenced by her formative years in Mexico City. Drawing from folk art, traditions, and playfulness, her creations are characterized by vibrant colors, bold patterns, and a sense of joyful maximalism. In recent years, she’s been living in the American “Wild West”, drawing inspiration from new surroundings and landscapes.
Primal Jerseys will be available for purchase at registration, in a run of women’s and men’s sizes. A limited run will be available at the event. Click here to view fit guide.
Accommodations
We know that camping isn’t everyone’s style, but we think you’ll fall in love with the idea of sleeping under the stars here at Justesen Ranch. Bring your own tent, or upgrade to our immensely popular Tent + Porter. You’ll arrive on Friday to a pre-set-up tent and luggage service to your “front door”, including 2 chairs out front. All you need to bring is your sleeping bag, sleeping pad and pillow! While there isn’t any lodging onsite, Maupin is a quick 15 minute drive away with plenty of cute accommodations.
Our dream camp is perfectly perched along the White river in pristine canyon at the Justesen Ranch. Our overnight guests will have designated areas for tent camping & RV camping. We only have 40 spots for RVs, so please be sure to add it onto your registration ahead of time so we save a spot for you!

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 a.m. Those still on the course after 4 p.m. (3:30 p.m. 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.

You must show your photo ID to pick up your packet. Once we affix your wristband, it should not be removed unless you leave the ride. The wristband is what identifies you as a participant and gives you access to meals and course support.
Bike and 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 routes.
Can I bring my e-bike?
We’re excited about the experience e-bikes offer riders and welcome e-bikes at Joyride. However, charging is not available. We recommend coming with 2 fully charged batteries if you plan to ride an e-bike and use one for each day (Saturday & Sunday).

COVID-19
Rider health and safety is paramount on Cycle Oregon events. Working within the guidelines from the Oregon Health Authority, we have developed COVID-19 safety plans and protocols which we will amend as new updates and guidelines are announced leading up to an event.
As of March 11, 2022 masks are no longer required for indoor settings or group activities in Oregon. There are exceptions, masks are required in healthcare settings, and we ask that you are mindful of additional requests you may encounter during Joyride.
Masks are not required at Joyride but we support those who choose to wear them for any reason they may have. We recognize members of the Cycle Oregon community and those associated with support of this event hold varying views on face covering. Out of respect for one another and in the spirit of the Cycle Oregon mission we ask that you honor our mask-friendly policy at Joyride – Do what’s best for you.
Teasing, mocking, harassment or intimidation from any position towards others will not be tolerated.
