As for fun things to do aside from riding, you can motor up past the no wake zones on the Metolious or Crooked River arms of the lake for a polar plunge. It's less than a mile of no wake on the Metolious and several miles on the Crooked, but on both arms the water will rapidly drop down to the low 50's or so and is nice and clear. I've found they're good places to tie up when everyone is worn out and day drunk, a quick hop in the icy water can really get everyone refreshed and ready to go again.
There's a party cove just before the horseshoe bend on the Metolious that has some decent cliff jumping. The bridges on the crooked and Deschutes rivers are good for jumping as well, though the one on the Crooked is easier to walk up to and has a platform for jumping.
Have fun out there.
