Campsite Services AND Amenities

Campsite Basics

Each day Cycle Oregon provides a campsite complete with many services and amenities that make each night an enjoyable and comfortable experience. Please note: Some of these amenities will require additional purchases.

Camping

Bring your own tent or, for an additional fee, use one of ours. Every overnight site will have an area designated for camping – the "tent city," as it's affectionately known. If you are interested in using one of our tents, click here to read about the Tent & Porter service.

Meals

Cycle Oregon will provide three meals per day during the event. Both dinner and breakfast are served at the overnight site, and lunch is served on the course. On Days 5 and 7, lunch will be served after you finish the day’s ride.

Meal times:
Breakfast: 5:30 - 8:30 a.m.
Lunch: 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Dinner: 5 - 8 p.m.

Showers

Hot showers will be provided at each overnight site. The showers come with dressing rooms, sinks and even a laundry area to hand-wash clothes. Please remember to bring a towel or two, as we do not provide towels or toiletries.

Rider Services

Rider Services is the Cycle Oregon customer service department. You will find the Rider Services trailer in a visible location near the entrance to each overnight campsite. This is the place to ask questions, get help solving a problem, meet friends, leave a note on the message board or locate missing items at lost and found.

Cycle Oregon Retail

The Cycle Oregon Retail trailer is where you'll pick up your pre-ordered jersey, buy extra meal tickets or shop for additional Cycle Oregon merchandise. Look for the Cycle Oregon Retail trailer near Rider Services.

Medical Services

A medical tent will be set up at both the overnight site (near Rider Services) and each lunch spot. There is no charge for medical services on the course or at the overnight site. We will not transport you to a medical facility unless it is a critical situation. If you require services from a local medical facility, you will be financially responsible.

We will designate a camping area adjacent to the medical tent with electrical hookup for those who use equipment such as a CPAP (sleep) machine. The medical crew will also carry your equipment from site to site. If you would like to use this service, please contact Ingrid@cycleoregon.com to sign up.  You will need to bring a 100-foot extension cord in addition to your CPAP machine.

The Widmer Brothers Beer Garden

Each night's campsite will feature a beer garden with hand-brewed ales by Widmer Brothers Brewing Company of Portland. The Widmer Brothers Beer Garden is open daily from noon - 10 p.m.

Cycle Oregon Wine

Eola Hills Winery, an award-winning Oregon winery, produces a commemorative Cycle Oregon wine each year. You may purchase wine by the glass or the bottle at the Widmer Brothers Beer Garden. Cases may also be purchased, with the option to ship them home or pick them up at the finish.

HOTLIPS Pizza

Mmmmmm mmmm good… this is a delicious feature of Cycle Oregon.  HOTLIPS Pizza will be sold daily in the Widmer Brothers Beer Garden. Pizza and beer after a long day's ride – have you died and gone to heaven?

Other Food Vendors

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream. And not just any ice cream – this is the best of the best. Ben & Jerry's will peddle their wares at each overnight spot. Other food available for satisfying those after-ride cravings includes smoothies, espresso coffee and local community specialties.

Nightly Announcements

Every evening at 7:30 p.m., the Cycle Oregon community gathers around the ODS Main Stage. The evening meeting is part communion and part comedy. It's a great opportunity to get the latest weather forecast, hear tips about the next day's route, learn about the places we're visiting and catch up on some local folklore. Best of all, it's always followed by terrific entertainment.

Entertainment

Cycle Oregon showcases some of Oregon's most talented performers, from country rockers to clog dancers, blues divas to jazz greats. Performances are scheduled each day on the ODS Main Stage. Performances by local community members begin as early as 2:30 p.m. and last until about 6 p.m. After the nightly announcements at 7:30 p.m., we bring out our headliner act – these are some top-notch performances you won't want to miss.

Back by popular demand, Brett Flemming will teach a series of bicycle skills clinics several nights at 6:15 p.m., location to be announced . The clinic topics will include Riding Skills, Gear Shifting and Flat Tire Repair. Check back later in the summer for the schedule of the clinics.

Brett Flemming's Bio

Massage Services

The majestic mountains of Oregon seem mighty tall when you're pedaling up them. After a long day in the saddle, bring your tired legs down to the massage tent. Our therapists use a variety of Swedish, deep-tissue and sports massage styles to keep you riding happy all week. Massage relieves muscle pain and tightness by stimulating circulation, clearing out the toxins that build up with extreme exertion and stopping spasms before they stop you from riding. Massage can be tailored to your pressure preferences and to the areas where you need it most.

Massage prices are $40 for a half hour and $75 for a full hour. We accept VISA, MasterCard, check or cash. Massage appointments begin filling in May and June, so call ahead to be sure you get the times you want. You can make appointments directly with your favorite therapist or sign up at the massage tent at each overnight site. A little hint: When you're choosing where to pop your tent for the night, you may want to set up away from the massage tent, as our music is loud and lively and we're open until 11 p.m.   For more information about the Cycle Oregon Massage Team and to view a list of the massage therapists who will be along on the ride, click here.

Yoga

A yoga instructor will be along on the ride to teach yoga and stretching classes each afternoon. Yoga is an excellent way to tame sore muscles, relax and stay flexible after a long day's bicycle ride. The yoga classes are designed to give a complete overhaul of the entire body system using asanas (poses), stretching and conscious breathing for deep relaxation, flexibility and stamina. Classes are free to all Cycle Oregon riders.

Bike Repair

The Bike Gallery supplies a team of bicycle technicians who provide mechanical support on the route and at each overnight location. Technical support is available for emergency repairs of well-maintained equipment. It is your responsibility to make sure your bicycle arrives in good condition. Labor is usually free, compliments of Cycle Oregon and The Bike Gallery, while cyclists pay for all parts. Labor charges may apply if your bicycle does not meet pre-ride requirements. Any repairs performed along the route will be basic in nature and designed to get you to camp for the evenang.

Bike Retail

The Bike Gallery has a retail site at each overnight location. It is complete with cycling attire, accessories and any other odds and ends that you may need.

Bike Detail

Bike detailing is a fee-based service provided by the Community Cycling Center (the funds earned support their youth bicycle programs). They offer several levels of bike cleaning service. The detail service is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Detail services:
Full bike cleaning and detailing: $35
Bike detailing (no drive train): $25
Drive train only: $20

Ride Photography

A team of professional photographers will be on the course each day taking pictures. Pictures will be displayed at each overnight site. You can purchase individual pictures or an entire Cycle Oregon commemorative photo book.

Community Hospitality Booth

Each community hosts a hospitality booth where you can get extensive information about the community, including planned activities, restaurants, hotels, local history and other information you may need.
