If there is any adventure that we love more than biking in the Columbia River Gorge, we would be hard-pressed to identify it. The cycling here is world-renowned and it's no accident it's one of less than a dozen places in the world to have a Peloton-guided scenic ride created around it. We get to do that in real life! We will ride between 35 and 60 miles (60 - 100 km) depending on your interests and the group, with lots of up and down hills, although all at gentle slopes and lower elevations (nothing over 900 feet / 300 meters). The adventure here is a challenge but not an unsurmountable one; from one end of the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Highway to another, or an out-and-back ride from a stunning viewpoint, along a scenic highway, then onto a protected bike/pedestrian pathway. Either way, we will ride some of the country's most beautiful roads and visit beautiful waterfalls like Multnomah and Horsetail Falls. Lunch will be on your own with our recommendations

Your guide keeps it fun and approachable while explaining what you’re eating, how to spot quality, and how to order with confidence the next time you’re at a sushi bar. All food is included, and group size is capped so the experience stays personal and high-touch. —and if you have dietary needs (gluten-free or vegan), message us after booking so we can plan your best possible menu.
