Get ready to roll for a greener future! 350 Deschutes is excited to introduce Pedal for the Planet, our brand-new community bike ride and fundraiser happening Saturday, May 2, 2026. Join us in Bend as we hit the trails of beautiful Central Oregon to celebrate the outdoors, connect with neighbors, and support local climate action.
This fun community bike ride features a paved 12-mile loop starting and ending at Farewell Bend Park, traveling along the scenic Haul Road Trail and Rim Rock Trail to the Cascade Lakes Welcome Station and back. For families with little ones, the shorter Logger Loop (1.33 miles) offers a relaxed, family-friendly option—perfect for walking or riding together. Registration is open for both individuals and families, and bike rentals will be available, so everyone can join in!
This ride is more than just a day of cycling—it’s a movement for change. Every mile you pedal helps fund 350 Deschutes’ ongoing climate work, from advocating for clean energy to building a more sustainable Central Oregon. So grab your bike, bring your friends, and be part of the very first Pedal for the Planet. Let’s make this a tradition that keeps our community active, inspired, and committed to protecting the spaces we love.
