hen I first moved to Bend, I thought of Madras as one of the last towns to grab gasoline or coffee on my mad dash to the PDX airport. But now that I’ve logged more than a few miles on a gravel bike in the area, I can tell you Madras offers some of the best spring riding. I am amazed by the diversity of the riding; quiet country roads that have me constantly snapping photos.
