Santiam Spokes is a recreational bicycling club for cyclists of all ages and abilities. The Oregon Willamette Valley offers wonderful biking roads with lots to see and experience.

Generally we're low-key. We like to ride, but we are happy also to go slowly to enjoy this beautiful Willamette valley.

We look after each other on rides and try to be sure that everyone is having fun. We welcome new and experienced riders. Regularly we offer a Discovering Bicycling class that helps you get off the sofa and into the fun of bicycling.

We have special rides that take us to wineries or cemeteries, on ferries or overnight camping, up steep hills, or week-long tours. We ride to festivals and celebrate the beauty of our countryside. Mostly our rides are moderate on the many routes we have mapped in the Willamette Valley. However, we do some climbing and fast rides that are strenuous and challenging. Six of our members have ridden across the United States. Almost every summer we have a week-long, camping w/sag club tour. This has to be the lowest cost bike tour in the state.

Since 1992, each June we produce the Strawberry Century tour, a premier event to initiate summer. Riders say this is the best run tour in Oregon; the Strawberry is becoming more popular every year.

We also help community by conducting bicycling clinics for children, donating helmets and other safety gear, and other activities to further responsible bicycling by youth and adults.

Our club meetings are at 7:00 PM on the first Thursday of each month at Lebanon Community Hospital. Our newsletters are in area bike shops. Pick up a copy.

We have several parties and gatherings each year.

There's plenty of room and fun! Ride with us.

Help Create The Future!

The City of Lebanon is working with the National Park Service's Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program to develop an action plan for Cheadle Lake Recreation. They have an online survey that you can take so that the city and its partners can create a plan for how to move forward with the development of Cheadle Lake.
