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