(Rickreall, Oregon) Over 1000 Cyclists are expected to participate this year in an event Eola Hills Wine Cellars started back in 1997. They hosted a group of 30 cyclists that year on an organized bike ride through the Oregon Wine Country. In addition to riding through some of the most beautiful countryside in the Valley, it was also billed as an opportunity for the participants to train for "Cycle Oregon", which has now become one of the premier cycling events in the World.
Now staged every Sunday in August, Bike Oregon Wine Country features scenic routes through the Willamette Valley wine country. There are stops at several wineries en route, and support vehicles not only provide technical and courtesy support, but will also pick up the wines ordered by the cyclists at the participating wineries, and deliver them back to Eola Hills, where the ride starts and ends!
The $75 registration fee covers lunch, a BBQ at Eola Hills at the end of the ride, and ride support. The event is open to all levels of riders, with ride options varying from 45 to 70 miles. The ride begins every Sunday in August at 8AM. Register by going to www.eolahillswinery.com or call 1-800-291-6730. Eola Hills Wine Cellars, is on about an 15 minutes west of Salem and about 60 minutes from Portland on Hwy 99W in Rickreall, across the street from the Polk County Fairgrounds. With over 400 wineries in Oregon, Eola Hills' Pinot Noir has consistantly been a Top-1&2 selling Oregon Pinot Noir in Portland and Oregon.
