Morning Bike Ride

2009-10-17T04:14:00.000-07:00

There's nothing better than a morning bike ride in Sunriver. The fresh, cool air and beautiful views are unmatched. If you go early enough, you'll likely cross paths with more deer than people.

I suggest starting just as the sun is rising. Plan your route ahead of time as the paved pathways could take you in a direction you don't want to go. Sunriver Resort has a good map online and you can always find a map on the property. I usually start at the south-end by Harper's Bridge and ride along the Deschutes around the airport, past the meadow and Sunriver Stables. From there head to Cardinal Landing, making sure you take the trail that follows the Deschutes, not through the residential area.

If you do come upon walkers on your ride, slow down and say "on the left" as you slowly pass. Maybe even throw in a "good morning"...because, it is always a good morning in Sunriver.

October Availablility
