If there is any adventure that we love more than biking in the Columbia River Gorge, we would be hard-pressed to identify it. The cycling here is world-renowned and it's no accident it's one of less than a dozen places in the world to have a Peloton-guided scenic ride created around it. We get to do that in real life! We will ride between 35 and 60 miles (60 - 100 km) depending on your interests and the group, with lots of up and down hills, although all at gentle slopes and lower elevations (nothing over 900 feet / 300 meters). The adventure here is a challenge but not an unsurmountable one; from one end of the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Highway to another, or an out-and-back ride from a stunning viewpoint, along a scenic highway, then onto a protected bike/pedestrian pathway. Either way, we will ride some of the country's most beautiful roads and visit beautiful waterfalls like Multnomah and Horsetail Falls. Lunch will be on your own with our recommendations

From: $0.00

Thinking of gifting the Columbia Gorge Scenic Bikeway ride, anyone tried it?

I came across this full-day bike ride in the Columbia Gorge and it looks amazing. I want to get it for my boyfriend's birthday. Has anyone done this? How was the experience? I love that it's guided and includes the bike rental. The waterfalls look stunning too! Just curious if it’s worth the money.

Help! What should I wear for the Columbia Gorge bike ride?

I’m gearing up for this bike ride and I’m worried about what to wear. Should I go for padded shorts or just regular gym clothes? Also, how cold does it get in the morning? I wanna be comfortable but stylish, haha. Any tips?
