near Madras, Oregon
Your
choice:
A
scenic road bike ride ... or
Easy
mountain bike
riding!
May
21, 2022 (Saturday)
Come
join us for a road bike adventure
on the Madras Scenic
Bikeway, Saturday, May
21, 2022.
Meet
at the east side of Sahalee
Park in
downtown Madras at 9:30 am. We'll
ride off ar 10 am. The official
ride begins and ends in Sahalee
Park. Parking is free. Michele
Gunness will be our
ride leader.
At
29 miles, the Madras
Scenic Bikeway, part of
the Oregon Scenic Bikeway program,
is rated “moderate”. There are
some long hills both up and down,
all on paved roads. Please review
the information on this
website
before you arrive. It has
elevation gains, a map, and GPS
information. Print out the map
before you leave home.
If you are interested in mountain
biking instead, Linda
and Bruce McGavin will
be exploring an area on the east
side of Madras called Madras
Trails (or Madras East Hills)
which has been built specially for
mountain biking and looks like it
has a nice variety of shorter
trails, some with features. Here’s
a description: At
Madras East Hills, we have
something for everyone. Our
diverse trail system has
something to offer riders of
all skill levels. Whether
you're a beginner looking
for an easy ride or an
experienced cyclist looking
for a challenging workout,
we've got you covered. Our
XCO track is one of the best
in the state, and our
downhill tracks are sure to
please adrenaline junkies
everywhere. Come experience
the exciting thrill of
mountain biking at Madras Trails.
See Madras
Trails Facebook
page and Trailforks.
This
can be a one day trip with a lot
of driving time, or you might
consider staying the
weekend!
Camping is
available at Pelton
Park on
Lake Simtustus, a PGE park, if you
book soon. A few of us have
reserved campsites for May 20-22,
and, depending upon how many
people wish to camp, we may have
room to share our campsites and
costs. There are spaces for
small RV's, but they only have
electricity; no water or sewer
hookups.
RV
sites and luxury camping is
available at Lake
Simtustus RV Park
managed by Mt Hood SkiBowl.
Sandra
Smith, who grew up in
Madras, says that the best motel
is Cross
Keys Station, which is not
currently showing availability
for our dates. Other motels
in Madras include a Quality Inn
and an EconoLodge (both of which
have terrible reviews).
We
can really make this a fun weekend
- Sandra tells us might be a
Saturday Market at Sahalee Park
with crafts, food, and music; and
that Madras has a Distillery,
a Maltery,
races
at the Madras
Speedway
Saturday night, and the Madras
Air Museum,
which has some of the
collection from the now closed
Tillamook Air Museum.
Also, you can pick up some
local goodies at Paradise
Produce
at Sandra's friend's
farm! Sandra will help
our group explore her home
town, making this a truly
special weekend!
If
you are interested, contact Michele
Gunness at secretary@mthigh.org
about the road bike ride
or
Linda McGavin
at trips@mthigh.org
about the mountain
biking.
If
you want to camp, you need to
get in your reservations
SOON! Both Michele and
Linda have room for additional
tents at the sites we
booked.
