The Mid-Valley Bicycle Club Loop Tour is an annual nine day cycling & camping tour in Oregon and sometimes elsewhere in the Northwest region. The first Loop Tour was held in 1976 and it has taken place nearly every year since.
Loop Tours are only available for MVBC members.
Our 2026 tours will start and end in Albany, Oregon, riding in a counter-clockwise route. We'll head east on familiar roads past Sweet Home and Foster Reservoir and then begin the climb into the Cascades up Quartzville road, past Green Peter reservoir and Yellow Bottom, and on quiet forest roads to the Santiam highway. There we turn north and head to Detroit Lake, before setting off on the Cascading Rivers Scenic Bikeway, up the Breitenbush River and down the Clackamas River to Estacada, where we'll have our layover day at Milo McIver State Park. Then it's on to Champoeg State Park, and Silver Falls State Park on our return to Albany.
