‘Ride Oregon’ website wins top tourism award

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

The site features interactive route
maps of the best rides in Oregon
and much more.

RideOregonRide.com, a website that promotes bike tourism in Oregon is set to receive the 2010 President’s Award from Travel Portland.

The Ride Oregon site was first officially conceived at the Oregon Bike Summit in 2008, where attendees said having one place to feature all the great rides in Oregon should be a high priority. From there, Travel Oregon provided start-up funds and hired local interactive brand strategy agency Substance to develop it.

The site has a myriad of features, including interactive maps, the ability to create a personal profile to share favorite routes, and much more.

RideOregonRide was unveiled at last year’s Oregon Bike Summit.

If you want to hatch big ideas about biking in Oregon — and who knows, maybe they will become a reality just like RideOregonRide.com — attend the upcoming Oregon Bike Summit in Portland on June 4th.
