EAT HERE: Restaurants and Grocery Stores that feed the hungry cyclists and nordic skiers of Bend, Oregon
|
Bend Farmers Market
Every Wednesday from 3:00-7:00 pm downtown. Support our local farmers!
|
Devore's Good Food Store
It's an organic grocery, with the best wraps in town. Just the place to grab a lunch on the go.
|
High Tides
Bend's most under-rated restaurant. If you're looking for a nice meal that even a bike mechanic can afford, try it out.
|
Kebaba
They're practically next door and the favorite shop lunch spot. Fast and good Middle-Eastern.
|
Nancy P's Bakery
Coffee and baked goods right around the corner. Another favorite shop eatery.
|
Super Burrito
Our favorite tacaria is back and better than ever. There is no better post-bike-ride bonk medicine. Recommeded: Everything, not necessarily in that order. Just off the river on Newport Avenue.
|
SLEEP HERE: Motels and camp grounds for the tired cyclist.
|
The Entrada Lodge
If you want to mountain bike right out your front door, the Entrada is your hotel. It's also (behind the Inn at the 7th Mountain Resort) the second-closest motel to Mt. Bachelor.
|
McMenamin's Old St. Francis School
Right downtown--food, beverage, movies, steam bath...It's not like any of the Catholic schools we remember...
|
Palmers Motel
No, they don't have a website, and they're small and scrappy. But it was the hotel of choice for Len Pettyjohn and the Coors Light team back in the '80s. Davis Phinney slept here!
|
Phoenix Inn
It's our downtown McHotel. Standard fare, but nice.
|
Rainbow Motel
Another small and scrappy bike-racer special.
|
Tumalo State Park
Grab yourself a yurt for $14 a night. Road riding is excellent right from the park. Mountain biking is about 5 miles away.
|
SHOP HERE: Stores we like.
|
The Foot Zone
Like a Sunnyside for the running set.
|
Les Newman's Quality Footwear and Clothing
It's where we buy our Carharts.
|
DO THIS:
|
Ski with your Dog
We've got some dedicated dog lovers in our town, and thanks to them, we now have a ski-with-your-dog trail. Park at Wanoga Snow Park, and ski the groomed 2-k loop.
|
Pilates
Tune and balance your bod with former sunnyside staffer and cyclist extraordinaire Jim Juenger at Spirit of Pilates.
