I heard the 25 mile route is different, how so?
The 25 mile route is now NW of Bend and stays out of town. Those who have ridden it say it is a much better route!
*ALL routes have changed and they no longer go through town to return to the venue. Please check the route maps
What happened to the 100 mile route?
McKenzie Pass is closed in 2009, so we had to revise our 100 mile ride to a 90 mile ride. 2010 will not have a 100 mile ride. It may return in the future. The good news is you return to the venue in time for lunch and the party!
Do the routes happen to intersect?
All routes come together at the Tumalo School rest stop and follow the same route back to the venue via Johnson Road and Tyler Road.
What about signage?
There will be color coded arrows for each route on the road. (please check the route map included in your rider packet for the color key) Signage will be present at key intersections.
