Gorge Ride 2008
The Friends of the Historic Columbia River Highway held its second annual fundraising bike ride on Saturday, June 14, 2008, beginning at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center, 5000 Discovery Drive, in The Dalles, Oregon. It extended 19.25 miles along the Historic Columbia River Highway (HCRH) and the HCRH State Trail to the west to the Senator Mark O. Hatfield West Trailhead, just east of Hood River. This route, with its world-class scenery, is a combination of historic highway that is open to motor vehicles, with very low traffic, and the HCRH State Trail that is open only to hikers and bicyclists. The HCRH State Trail is paved and most of the trail is 16 feet in width. This was an out and back route of 38.5 miles.
Over 340 people enjoyed the Gorge Ride on June 14, 2008. A summary of the ride with photos will be posted here soon.
Friends of the Historic Columbia River Highway’s vision is to restore and preserve the existing drivable portions of the historic highway to their splendid 1920s appearance and link drivable portions with pedestrian and bicycle accessible connections, creating a continuous route through the Columbia River Gorge.
There were three items "lost and found" - a bike lock, a women's jersey and a cell phone. If these are yours, please contact FHCRH@comcast.net and identify them.”
