Central Oregon 500 for 50+
Registration is now open for the 2016 Central Oregon 500 event. Central Oregon 500+
This ride is 5 days of full or metric Centuries on all the best routes in Central Oregon. Ride dates 6/8/2016 to 6/12/2016. All of the rides start and finish in Bend OR and are led by local ride guide volunteers. This year there will be a 100 mile gravel grinder option on day 3 and 150 mile option on day 5. I am a 50+ and started this ride on the week of my 50th birthday solo. After 3 years of doing that i decided it was too good to not share and the Mt Bachelor Sports Education Foundation took the ride on as a fund raiser for it's youth summer cycling program. It's a laid back atmosphere with registration limited to 50 so by the end of the week you will have made a bunch of new cycling friends.
Enjoy...

I've done some riding thereabouts on Cycle Oregon, and it was fab. Smith Rock is a gem.
