Join fellow cyclists on a 20-mile bike ride on the 4th of July from Riverview Park in Independence, Oregon, to Buena Vista on the west side of the Willamette River, crossing on the Buena Vista Ferry to the east bank of the river, and returning to Independence. The first half of the ride is relatively flat. the second half does entail climbing a hill before descending back to a flat ride. You'll pass farmlands, blueberry fields, and a national wildlife refuge. Be sure to bring a dollar for the ferry.After the ride, you're invited to stick around to socialize while you watch the parade. There are pastry shops to refuel after the ride. One of the largest fireworks show west of the Mississippi takes place in the evening.
