Oregon Cycling Event to Benefit Two Rivers
By Jennifer SchoonenMarch 17, 2010
Pedal power can do a little good for your own well-being … and this May it will also do a little good for the well-being of two special Oregon rivers. On Saturday, May 15, the National Forest Foundation, in partnership with Cycle Oregon, will host a Ride for Two Rivers -- Metolius & Whychus cycling event in Sisters, Ore. This ride, which is planned to go up beautiful McKenzie Scenic Pass, will incorporate two routes – 21-mile family friendly route, as well as a longer 51-mile training ride for more serious cyclists. The event will include full support as well as an evening barbecue at Black Butte Ranch. Riders who wish to stay at Black Butte will receive a 10 percent discount on lodging. One hundred percent of the proceeds will support stewardship and restoration efforts on the Metolius River and Whychus Creek as part of the NFF’s Treasured Landscapes campaign. These funds will all be matched by the National Forest Foundation – giving riders twice the conservation bang for their buck! For more information, contact the NFF’s Lisa Leonard at lleonard@nationalforests.org.
