Central Oregon Strava Clubs

You do not have to look far to discover that Central Oregon has a large and varied cycling community.

Strava includes clubs for road cyclists, mountain bikers, gravel riders, racers, recreational riders, women’s groups, bike-shop communities, and people who simply enjoy seeing where others are riding. Some clubs organize group activities, while others primarily provide an online place for members to share rides and encourage one another.

The clubs listed here were selected because they appear to have a connection to Bend, Redmond, or the surrounding Central Oregon region.

Use the links to visit each club’s Strava page, read its current description, and decide whether it matches the kind of riding community you are looking for.

Strava account required: You may need to sign in to Strava to view complete club pages, posts, activities, and member information. A free Strava account is sufficient; a paid subscription is not required to use the club links provided here.

Before You Join or Ride

A Strava club listing does not necessarily mean that the club conducts organized group rides. Some clubs are active riding organizations, while others are informal online communities, business-sponsored groups, or collections of riders with a shared interest.

Before participating in any activity, confirm directly with the club:

Whether it currently organizes group rides
The expected distance, pace, terrain, and skill level
Whether advance registration or membership is required
Whether helmets, waivers, or other safety requirements apply
Whether the ride is supported, insured, or led by an identified organizer

Independent Clubs

The clubs and activities listed here are independently operated. COBC provides these links as a community information resource but does not organize, supervise, approve, or insure their activities. A listing does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by COBC or The Focus on Life.

Club information can change. Always verify current details directly through the club’s Strava page or official website.

Bend

Fieldwork Cycling Club is a Bend-based gravel cycling community that organizes intermediate-level rides. The club currently describes a recurring Friday morning ride starting at 7:00 a.m. from Thump Coffee, 549 NW York Drive in Bend.

The club maintains recent local activity and uses Strava posts to share additional rides and event information. Schedules, routes, difficulty, and participation requirements can change, so riders should confirm the current details directly through the club before participating.

Happy Hour Dirt Rides

Location: Bend
Primary riding: Mountain biking and gravel cycling
Experience level: Novice to intermediate
Club type: Social riding and skills-building community

Happy Hour Dirt Rides is a Bend cycling community created for novice-to-intermediate mountain and gravel riders. Its emphasis on familiarity, fitness, fun, and community makes it particularly valuable for riders who want to gain experience without immediately joining a fast or highly technical group.

The club’s Strava description refers to a summer ride program traditionally held on Wednesday evenings at 5:30 p.m., with rides starting from different locations in and around Bend. Older club posts show that Strava was used to announce rides and communicate cancellations caused by weather, smoke, or air quality.

COBC has not been able to confirm that this recurring schedule remains active. Riders interested in participating should review the club’s latest Strava information and contact its organizers before relying on the previously published day or time.
