Down the Crooked Right |
| Prineville to Ashwood 48 miles Ravn |
Gorgeous ride up McKay Creek into the Ochoco Mountains. Then adventurous creek crossings and beating out a thunderstorm. |
| Ashwood to Shaniko 32 miles Ravn |
Another long hard climb followed by a fast downhill followed by another hard climb. |
| Shaniko to Deschutes River Park 64 miles Ravn |
Endless rolling hills of brown and green. Wheat fields as far as the eye could see. |
| Deschutes River Park to The Dalles 22 miles Ravn |
More ridiculous steep hills, but very scenic on top. Nice descent though canyons with alfalfa and then cherries. |
