Three days of support for your riding addiction in beautiful Eastern Oregon Memorial Weekend May 24-26, 2008.
Pendleton Century Farms...
Behind the beauty of the waving fields of grain that cover eastern Oregon are the stories of hardy early farmers. They saw the potential for farming in this wide-open landscape. We celebrate those who founded the farms, and who still farm the same land through their descendents 100 years later, by designating their legacy as Century Farms.
The Rides...
Century Ride of the Centuries will take you past a number of these beautiful farms and ranches, rising from Pendleton into the highlands of the nearby Blue Mountain foothills. You'll also travel through the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. There, residents with even deeper roots, living on lands occupied by their ancestors for thousands of years, have their farming and ranching operations. You'll have a choice of rides, full century, metric century or half-metric century.
And this year our signature sponsor, Wildhorse Resort & Casino, will provide the starting point for rides on all three days. At Wildhorse we’ll also spend time at the Tamástslikt Cultural Institute, the museum of the three Native Tribes who own and operate Wildhorse. There we’ll learn about the Tribes’ culture and history.
