Oregon Adaptive Sports

Ready to get off the pavement? The first OAS Gravel Club ride rolls out June 11.

Held every other Thursday from June through September, these group rides combine dirt roads, singletrack, community, and adventure. Guided by trained volunteers, Gravel Club is designed for adaptive cyclists with some prior aMTB or gravel riding experience who are ready to explore new terrain and build confidence on the bike.

Not quite ready for a group ride? Request a private gravel lesson through your athlete account, and we'll help you build the skills to get there!

Learn more and register today by visiting the OAS website.

Every OAS story starts somewhere.

For some, it began as an athlete. For others, as a volunteer, donor, family member, community partner, or staff member.

What was your first connection to OAS?

Image Description: Two people sit in a blue tandem kayak on calm water while smiling toward the camera and giving thumbs up. Both wear sunglasses and P-F-Ds. An orange mountain graphic stretches across the image, with green vegetation and trees in the background. Visible text reads: “Every O-A-S story starts somewhere...”

As May comes to a close, we're looking ahead to a busy week at OAS!

We'll gather with our community at the Community Golf Kickoff BBQ hosted by Sunriver Resort, head over the mountains for the McKenzie Pass Road Ride, and welcome new volunteers through Outreach & Development Orientation.

Behind the scenes, our team is also preparing for another summer of cycling, paddling, golf, camps, outreach, and outdoor adventure. Summer is almost here, and we're excited for what's ahead.

Some people spend all summer chasing dirt.
Some prefer pedaling on smooth pavement.
Some belong on the water.
Some are here for tee times and driving ranges.

At OAS, summer looks a little different for everyone. So… which summer personality are you?

Defend your choice in the comments. (And yes, choosing all four is allowed!)

Kick off summer with one of Central Oregon’s most iconic rides:

Join OAS on Saturday, June 6th for the McKenzie Pass Road Ride, an epic climb up the McKenzie Pass Scenic Bikeway before the road opens to vehicle traffic. Ride through towering pines, lava fields, and panoramic Cascade views alongside the OAS cycling community.

Choose between a shorter summit route from the gate or the full climb from Sisters, then celebrate the descent back down together!
