Grab your bike and join us for Pedal for the Planet on May 2, 2026! Ride through the beauty of Central Oregon, connect with the community, and support local climate action!

Get ready to ride for a cause that matters!

350 Deschutes is thrilled to launch Pedal for the Planet on May 2nd, 2026—a fun, community bike ride through the gorgeous landscape of Central Oregon. We’re kicking off a new Bend tradition where everyone can get outside, enjoy the ride, and help raise funds for local climate action. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just looking for a fun way to spend the day, come pedal with purpose and celebrate the beauty of our planet together!

This fun community bike ride features a 12-mile paved loop starting and ending at Farewell Bend Park, traveling along the scenic Haul Road Trail and Rim Rock Trail to the Cascade Lakes Welcome Station and back. For families with little ones, the shorter Logger Loop (1.33 miles) offers a relaxed, family-friendly option—perfect for walking or riding together. Registration is open for both individuals and families, and bike rentals will be available, so everyone can join in! Celebrate Central Oregon’s beauty, stay active, and support local climate action with 350 Deschutes as we kick off this exciting new tradition.
