The cycling community in Bend, Oregon, is organizing two bike rides as memorials to multi-sport legend Steve Larsen, who died Tuesday. A memorial service is planned for Saturday at 1 pm in Bend.

The first ride is the regular Saturday morning hammer ride, leaving from Hutch’s East Side bike shop at 820 NE 3rd Street, Bend. A friend said “the ride will hammer as usual. Steve would want it that way.”

The second ride will meet at 12:30 p.m., at the Drake Park Stage. The group will parade from there to the memorial service. All bikes and riders are welcome.

The memorial service is at 1 p.m. at the Les Schwab Amphitheater “White House” in Bend. (Click for directions to the Ampitheater.
