About two-thousand cyclists will descend on The Dalles this weekend for the beginning of Cycle Oregon. They will begin to arrive to camp in Sorosis Park on Friday, and will leave on Sunday to begin the seven-day ride. Cycle Oregon’s Tara Corbin says the riders come from all over to take part. The ride will head north on Sunday into the Glenwood area, return to The Dalles on Monday for a lunch stop at Riverfront Park before heading south towards Tygh Valley and Madras, and will finish at Riverfront Park the morning of September 13. Cycle Oregon is providing a bus service Friday and Saturday for riders to go downtown and to The Fort Dalles Museum.
