Saturday:  Clouds and sun will make for a perfect high of 72 degrees on Saturday. Expect temperatures in the 50s for the departure and finish at Mt Hood Meadows. You’ll be able to shed clothing along the ride for pickup at the finish.  However, I’d suggest you carry a light jacket just in case!

Sunday: Mostly sunny with 75 – 80 degree temperatures are expected for Sunday. Though Hood River does threaten some showers on Sunday, the forcast for The Dalles portion of the ride boasts sunny and 80 degrees! Be sure to prepare for both!
