Tour de Fronds

The Tour de Fronds is one of the most beautiful cycling events in Oregon.

The Tour is your choice of scenic rides on low-traffic roads in Southern Oregon’s beautiful Coast Range. From your saddle enjoy views of old-growth forests, wildflowers, waterfalls, rivers, streams, and mountain vistas.

The Tour de Fronds transverses Oregon’s premier Glendale/Powers Bicycle Recreation Area, a project of USDA Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management.

7 (five tarmac and two gravel) rides are available from 30 to 117 miles long with different climbing and grade challenges.

Two asphalt/gravel rides. 

The Tour is well-supported with an abundance of refreshments available at each Check-In area. Registration fees include all refreshments, support, and a large, delicious post-ride meal.

Registration Fees include a delicious post-ride meal at Ross Hall in Powers. Post-ride meals will be served from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM.  Plan your leave time so that you arrive back in Powers before 7 pm. 

Important

The Tour de Fronds is a backcountry route, beautiful, but remote. The Forest Service and BLM roads are mostly paved and fine for road bikes, but some of the route is chip-seal and we recommend 25C to 28C tires as a minimum for comfort. We also recommend that you cycle with a partner and limit speed on the descents.

Prices rise by $10 on June 1.

The Tour de Fronds is completely volunteer run.  All proceeds are distributed to local service organizations that are dedicated to Powers community improvement.
