Bend School Garden Bike Tour
October 8, 2022 @ 7:00 am - 9:00 am
Bend Bikes is teaming up with The Environmental Center’s Garden for Every School program for a School Garden Tour by bike! We will visit 3 school garden sites in northeast Bend, the Deschutes County Juvenile Community Justice Detention Facility, Bend International School, and Desert Sky Montessori School. We begin our ride at 2:00pm at the Deschutes County Juvenile Division building and loop back there at the end of our time together for those that need to leave a car there.
We will travel at a casual pace with ride leaders at the front and back of the group so that no one is left behind! Our route will include a combination of neighborhood streets, low-traffic roads without bike lanes, and busier roads with marked bike lanes.There are sidewalks along some, but not all, the roadways. O.B. Riley is a known bike-route for recreational cyclists and has a dedicated (unprotected) bike lane but the speed limit is 35 miles per hour, which has earned it its designation as a route for riders of above-average skill. View the route here. The bike ride is 2.5 miles and will be limited to 25 bikers.
Visit the Environmental Center’s website below to view full details and itinerary.
