St. Mary’s Academy (The Dalles, Oregon ) –

St. Mary’s Academy, located in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, will host the 5^th Annual “Cherry of A Ride” on Sunday, April 18th, 2010.  This recreational ride is fully supported and offers scenic route options for every level of rider.  Route lengths are 30 miles, 48 miles, 60 miles, 80 miles and, for the hard core rider, we are again offering our 100 mile ride.

All rides begin at St. Mary’s Academy, then head east of The Dalles, meandering through the blossoming cherry orchards and green wheat fields of Rural Wasco County.  The longer rides (60, 80 and 100) will offer riders a view of the gorge that you can not see from the freeway.

Our 2010 ride will be limited to 500 riders.  Riders are encouraged to use our online registration at www.cherryofaride.com or download a mail in registration form from the same site.  The deadline for mail in pre-registrations is Friday, April 9th.  After this date, online registration and “day of event” registrations will still be accepted to a maximum of 500 riders.

All riders must begin between 6am and 9am and the routes will close at 5pm.
