2025 Joyride - A Cycling Event for Women and Nonbinary Riders

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 Sherar’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.

Check out pho t os from our 2024 Joyride Event.

“Along with the awesome riding experience, the Joyride team put together so much fun and made it memorable for everyone! There were so many great takeaways for me, the most memorable would be the positivity, strength and acceptance for one another.”

“I attend Cycle Oregon events solo giving me the opportunity to meet new friends on and off our bikes. I love coming back and seeing so many of the same friends at each event.“

“This feels silly to write – but swimming in the river at Joyride on Saturday afternoon and realizing that I hadn’t spent one second worrying about what I looked like in my bathing suit because there was literally no judgment from all the women hanging out together there. And the drop down into Maupin and the stretch of road alongside the Deschutes were both pretty great!“

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 a.m.– 4 p.m. (Sunday 3:30 p.m.)

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.

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.
- 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 open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
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.

- Friday, July 18, from 3:00 – 9:00 p.m.

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/ Van prior to 3 p.m. 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.

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.
