The Ride the Rogue bicycling event is the annual fund raiser for continuing to build the Rogue River Recreational Corridor and Greenway. The Greenway has been described as an emerald necklace of parks and public access areas along the Rogue River: all linked by a beautiful bicycle and pedestrian trail. Once completed, this 30-mile section from Grants Pass to Central Point, Oregon, will link to the 20-mile Bear Creek Greenway which ends in Ashland. The 50-mile route will link Josephine and Jackson Counties and offer access to world class recreational opportunities in Southern Oregon.

The 2012 Ride the Rogue event, held on September 15th and coordinated by Janet Boucher, coincided with the City of Rogue River's Centennial Celebration and its hub of activities was the arboretum at Palmerton Park. Over 900 bicylists, along with their families and friends, were treated to a wonderful day, starting and ending at the park, including a feast afterward.

There was a ride for all abilities: The Century (100 miles), the Metric Century (65 miles), and the Quarter Century (25 miles). The bike rides offered an extraordinary experience of the natural beauty of the Rogue, Evans, and Applegate valleys, along with views of the Rogue River, vineyards, quaint Southern Oregon towns, and covered bridges, including the Wimer Bridge.

Among the Platinum sponsors were: The City of Rogue River, Oregon State Parks, Rogue River Press, NBC KOBI 5 TV Medford and KOTI 3 Klamath Falls, Dutch Bros. Coffee, KISS 107.5 FM, KZZE Rock 106.3, KRWQ 100.3, KOOL 103.5 FM, and KMED News Talk 1440 AM.
