Family Ride
May 15, 2010This 21-mile route traverses trails and backroads from Black Butte Ranch to Camp Sherman. Surrounded by spring-fed rivers and spectacular forests, cyclists will have the opportunity to race to the finish or stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery—a great way to spend a beautiful spring afternoon.
One hundred percent of the proceeds will support stewardship and restoration efforts on the Metolius River and Whychus Creek as part of the NFF’s Treasured Landscapes campaign. These funds will all be matched by the National Forest Foundation – giving riders twice the conservation bang for their buck! For more information, contact the NFF’s Lisa Leonard at lleonard@nationalforests.org.
