Bicycle Adventures Launches Oregon Cascades Bike Trip
Vacation Packages February 14, 2013
Bicycle Adventures, a Pacific Northwest-based active travel company, launched a new bike trip through Oregon’s Cascades to the Pacific passing through 21 covered bridges and averaging 25-50 miles each day. The new program, called Oregon’s Covered Bridges Classic, is priced $1,995 double occupancy with two six-day departures on June 23 and July 27.
The rate includes accommodation, most meals, wine tastings and more. The trip begins and ends in Eugene, home of the University of Oregon Ducks (think football) and Nike. A highlight of the tour is dinner at King Estate, a premier certified organic, sustainable winery in the Willamette Valley.
The company also is offering its Pub and Pedal-Portland Tour again, a five-day beer and biking marathon averaging 45 miles per day, beginning and ending in Portland and traveling Oregon Coast to the hop-vines of the Willamette Valley and the Columbia Gorge, with a finale at the Brewer's Festival in Portland's Waterfront Park. Departing July 23, the tour is priced $2,495, including accommodation, nearly all meals, pub samples and entrance to the festival.
Stops include Astoria, the oldest settlement in the West, a tour of Heater Allen's artisan brewery with samples of handcrafted lagers, and Independence’s Rogue Farms Micro Hopyard, located on land that once hosted the old Alluvial Hop Farm. Independence was for a great many years the “Hop Capitol of the World.” Rogue's Micro Hopyard is one of the few remaining outposts of a very traditional way of life.
