Take on this 105-mile bike ride from Portland to the Oregon coast
There is no shortage of beautiful bike rides in Oregon, but the Reach the Beach cycling event is a truly remarkable experience.
On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we talk to Vickie Connor, a visual journalist with The Oregonian/OregonLive, about her experience on this epic bike ride.
Reach the Beach is a 105-mile ride from Sauvie Island to the Oregon coast, running through the scenic Clatsop State Forest. A fundraise for the American Lung Association, the ride is done in teams that are there not to race, but to share in the scenic ride.
Here are some highlights from this week’s show:
How Vickie got involved with Reach the Beach.
Why the ride is definitely hard, but not necessarily in the way that Vickie thought.
The best part of the day? It might have been the salmon hash.
Reach the Beach is just one of many cycling challenges in Oregon.
