Welcome to Oregon Rides & Events
From Bike Shop Roots to Oregon’s Premier Events
For 20 years we owned Bike Newport, where our passion for cycling and community began. In 2012 we helped revive the Coast Hills Classic Mountain Bike Race and discovered our love for producing events. Since then, Oregon Rides has grown to create and manage some of the state’s most unique and memorable experiences, including the Ride the Dirt Wave, Arthritis Bike Classic, Cannon Beach Fat Bike Festival, Mountain Bike Oregon, and the Barrel to Keg Relay, to name a few. Today, we are proud to bring people together through cycling and community events across Oregon.
