Cycle Oregon Week-Long Ride

The route begins in one town, then typically visits a different community each day. CO uses a caravan of trucks to transport showers, tents, cooking facilities, etc, from town to town. Music is provided in the evenings, and talks from locals, even Geology Lessons! Maps of each days' site show locations of the tent city, meals, stage, showers, toilets and so on. It is a veritable traveling tent revival.
