Food, Drink & Entertainment

Meals

Cycle Oregon provides three hearty and well-balanced meals each day during the event, with plenty of choices. Both dinner and breakfast are served at the overnight site, and lunch is served on the course. We know that riding all those miles requires a lot of calories, and we don’t leave you short on that count. We offer vegetarian options at each meal; if you have other dietary concerns, please let us know in advance. Our daily menus will be posted here as soon as they are finalized, usually by early summer.

Meal times

Breakfast: 5:30 – 8:30 a.m.
Lunch: 9:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Dinner: 5 – 8 p.m.

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.

Pizzicato Pizza

Mmmmmm mmmm good… this is a delicious feature of Cycle Oregon. Pizzicato pizza and sandwiches 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 the revered Nossa Familia coffee, Dragonfly Chai, 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 4 p.m. (2:30 p.m. on layover days) 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.

Bike Skills Clinics

Back by popular demand, Brett Flemming of the Bike Gallery will teach a series of bicycle skills clinics several nights from 6:15-7:15 p.m., location to be announced. The clinic topics will include Riding Skills, Gear Shifting and Flat Tire Repair.
