Cycle Oregon's 33rd "Classic" ride wrapped up Saturday, Sept.16, at Albany's Timber Linn Memorial Park. It was the last iteration of the multiday ride. It was also the first and last time Albany was the site of the start and finish of the over 400-mile route, which this year took cyclists — from Oregon and beyond — through the state's wine country and along its scenic and rocky coast. Volunteers and city and state officials were happy to celebrate the route's last leg from Alsea to Albany for the 1,000-plus participating riders like Jon Kraft.
