"Some people think that childlike wonder is something you grow out of. Those people have never been to Bend. Here, amazement is something you fall into, and it’s waiting eagerly for anyone who’s willing to make the trip to seize it. It’s a place packed with possibility." - https://visitbend.com

The Route: "Westside Tour" by Dirty Freehub
"The West Side Tour is just that …. A quick tour of Bend’s Westside. It’s a lot more urban than we normally ride, but we’ve tossed in enough forest roads to make it an honest gravel route."

"What we love about his route is that it is chocked full of Bend history, culture, and heritage and has some amazing river and mountain views. There are kiosks for the first schoolhouse in Bend, the history of the irrigation dams, some old logging and mill implements, and a number of pieces of art and sculpture."

In this video, JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew rides the "Westside Tour" route, one that consists of 40% gravel, 10% single track, 20% paved bike path, and 30% paved road.
