We will meet at The Gorge White House, 2265 Highway 35, just 2 miles south of downtown Hood River, OR.
Our pedal starts with magnificent views of Mount Hood and will continue to captivate and impress. Sharing the history of the valley and gazing through the orchards as we pedal along quiet country roads making our approach to the Hood River Lavender Farm. Resting or 'picking' ($5 mini bushel) in the scented aroma of over 75 varieties of Lavender, we leave smelling fresh and invigorated. Making our way around the mid-valley of Hood River and continuing along part of the 'fruit loop', we set our sights
on the wide open space that surrounds us. More than once we have heard "this place feels Tuscany".
When we arrive back at The Gorge White House, in the early evening, the farm will be resting and so will you as there is house made wine and/or cider tasting which is included with the tour. For those under 21 we have non alcoholic beverages.
We cover a good amount of ground at a moderate pace and the eBikes make the effort minimal. #whathills
