Biking on the roads and highways around the mountain we call Wy'East -- after the Indigenous name -- has been described as one of the most beautiful rides in the world. From stunning vistas to a profusion of summer wildflowers to towering forests and lakes glinting through the trees. Small waterfalls tumble down the sides of the andesite lava walls of the mountain; valleys with countless mountains rolling away in the distance are all around. We offer routes at 23, 40 and 60 miles depending on your interests and the group, with some significant elevation change but more downhill than up. E-bikes are an option. Cycling Wy'East is an exercise in approachable adventure; with 23-60 miles (40-100 km) of riding from near the timberline down into the nearly sea level town of Hood River. Our adventure is adjustable for your experience level but this is the most challenging of our many bike tours and anyone's day tours offered from Portland. Lunch stop, on your own, is part of the day.

Q&A

Q: What kind of bike should I expect for the Wyeast adventure? Are e-bikes available?

A: You'll be provided with a good quality bike suitable for the terrain, and yes, e-bikes are definitely available! They really help with those elevation changes, especially on the longer routes. Just make sure to let the tour provider know in advance if you prefer an e-bike so they can have one ready for you.

Q: What should I wear for the cycling tour? Any specific gear I need?

A: Wear comfortable cycling clothes and definitely bring layers! Weather can change quickly in the mountains, and you might be sweating on the uphill but cold on the downhill. Don't forget sunscreen and a good pair of cycling gloves if you have them. They provide helmets, but if you prefer your own, bring that too!

Q: Can you reschedule the Wyeast bike tour if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, you can definitely reschedule if the weather doesn't cooperate. Just make sure you contact Around Portland Tours as soon as you know, and they’ll help you find another date that works. They are pretty flexible about it, especially for safety reasons.

Thinking about gifting the Wyeast Cycling Adventure - any advice?

I’m considering gifting the Wyeast Adventure Cycling tour in Portland for my boyfriend’s birthday. He loves biking and I think the scenic views would blow him away. But I’m a little worried about the difficulty since it mentions significant elevation changes. He’s fit but not super experienced with long rides. Is it really as challenging as it sounds?

Just finished the Wyeast Adventure - it was epic!

I just got back from the Wyeast Cycling tour and wow, it was incredible. The views were jaw-dropping, especially riding down to Hood River. The trails were well-kept and the snacks they provided were a nice touch. I did the 40-mile route and it felt challenging but really fun. Definitely recommend it if you're considering! Just be ready for some hills.
