Join the MMRF Road to Victories team as we take on this incredible cycling route through the crown jewel of the Pacific Northwest – the Columbia River Gorge – August 19th through 25th, 2023.
Our six-day adventure (7 including travel) will wind through this nature-lover’s paradise, bringing cyclists past the wild White Salmon River and along the Historic Columbia River Highway, a National Historic Landmark. Cyclists will pedal through Willamette Valley through farms and orchards, and challenge themselves on our routes while overlooking iconic Mount Adams and Mount Hood. This tour has endless opportunity for challenge and adventure with exhilarating elevation gain, incredible vistas, and rewarding accomplishments in the name of fighting myeloma. This tour offers our team various distances to ride each day, depending on strength and ability, but make no mistake: you will need to train for this challenge (we will help you with our 12-week training plans).

Our 20-person team will ride up to 300+ miles over the course of six days, along the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, which separates Washington from Oregon. The R2V team then continues on through Oregon’s scenic and challenging Willamette Valley. Riders can choose from a variety of distances each day to take on the distance that challenges them. The MMRF will continue to work with Backroads, a company with an impeccable 40-year track record, so that safety, support and the ride itself are top notch, allowing our team members to focus on their personal mission and for the MMRF to create a powerful experience for the team.
