'Reach the Beach'

The ride starts from four different locations: Portland (100 mi), Newberg (80 mi), Amity (55 mi) or Grand Ronde (28 mi). We provide superb organization, beautiful routes, medical and mechanical support on course, eight lunch and snack stops and a magnificent beach party with a delicious, hearty feast. Reach the Beach is one of Oregon's premier cycling events. Spend the day exploring Oregon by bike.

Lung disease - including asthma, emphysema and lung cancer - is the third  leading cause of death in America. Over the last decade, the  death rate from lung disease has been growing faster than the death rate from  almost any other killer.

Since 1915, the  American Lung Association in Oregon has been fighting lung diseasethrough education, community service, advocacy, and research. We are working to help those who  suffer from lung disease today, and to stop the spread of lung disease tomorrow.
 
To succeed, we need your  support.  Please join the American Lung Association's mission to save lives by improving  lung health and preventing
lung disease. You can do this by participating in  Reach the Beach or donating in a rider's name.  Thank you for joining the fight  against lung disease. 

We appreciate your commitment and loyalty to the  American Lung Association. Whether it's searching for cures, keeping kids off  tobacco or fighting for laws that protect the air we all breathe, the work of  the ALA helps to save lives every day. We are able to do this work because of your fundraising efforts during the events.
