Cherry of A Ride

St. Mary’s Academy, located in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, hosts this fully supported recreational ride that offers scenic route options for every level of rider. 

Route lengths are 30 miles, 48 miles, 60 miles, 80 miles and, for the hard-core rider, we are again offering our 100 mile ride.

Ride begins between 6 and  9am (all riders must be on a route by 9am).  All routes close at 5pm.

All rides begin at St. Mary’s Academy, then head east of The Dalles, meandering through the blossoming cherry orchards and green wheat fields of Rural Wasco County.  The longer rides (60, 80 and 100) will offer riders a view of the gorge that you can not see from the freeway.

There are rest stops (food and restrooms) located approximately every 20 miles.Pre-registration for the ride is $45 without a t-shirt and $55 with a t-shirt (before April 6th).

Day of ride registration is $55 with limited t-shirts available for $15. While lunch is not provided, there is an abundance of food available at the rest stops and fresh cherry crisp when you finish the ride!
