Get ready for Portland's premier bicycle ride!
The Portland Century is a fully supported catered tour about Portland. You'll ride through some of Portland's most scenic areas on quiet rural roads, along well-marked routes and through the gorgeous fringes of our magnificent city. Spend a day exploring, eating and riding - a day that will leave you refreshed with a renewed love of Portland.
The morning starts off with a continental breakfast of bagels, hard-boiled eggs, fresh fruit, delicious coffee, granola and more. You'll snack and eat yummy lunches at rest stops along the way - as frequently as every 15 miles. The finish line features a gourmet dinner with a free beer garden under the gorgeous tree canopy of the Portland State University gardens as you relax after a rewarding day. |
