(Rickreall, Oregon) Right in
the heart of wine country, Eola Hills Wine Cellars has long been a popular stop
for cyclist who enjoy the miles and miles of desolate back country roads,
covered bridges, ferry crossings, and the dozens of beautiful vineyards that
dot the landscapes.
Being avid cyclist themselves, the folks at Eola Hills
Winery decided to organize a bike tour in the mid 90's. That ride has now
evolved into "Bike Oregon Wine Country" with portion of wine sales proceeds
going to the "Oregon
Education Assistance Fund".

Bike
Oregon Wine Country is a fully supported ride that takes cyclist through the
scenic Eola Hills and Mid-Willamette Valley Wine Country. Surrounded by lush
vineyards and picturesque countryside, the various routes offer both short and
long loops, which range between 30 to 70 miles. Day rides leave every Sunday in
August at 8am with orientation at 7:30 am.
All Rides start at 8am.
Start and finish is at Eola Hills Wine Cellars in Rickreall, Oregon, but the
route varies each weekend. Lunch is provided at one of many participating
wineries, and all wine purchased in-route is transported back to Eola Hills by
one of our "SAG" vehicles. Enjoy their Sunday Brunch for early return riders or
stay and enjoy a BBQ with wine tasting for all the finishers and their
guests.
