Past Event: 3-Days of Riding in Lakeview, Oregon!

Come join us for 3 great days of gravel riding in Lakeview, Oregon. The weather is looking terrific! Highs in the low 70’s and mostly sunny. We will explore 3 routes we are working on. None have been published on the Dirty Freehub site.

This is a simple, low-key event. The purpose is:

to build momentum for gravel cycling in and around Lakeview,
for you to meet and find new people to ride with and
to raise initial funding for a cycling marketing project we are working on with local Lakeview businesses.

Dates

Friday September 20th to Sunday September 22nd

Cost & Registration

You must register to attend this event. Cost: $30 per person. Limited to 30 people. There are no refunds. Click here to register.

Ride Notes

1) The start time is not the meeting time. Start time is the time we roll out on the ride.
2) These rides are self-supported adventures. There is no sag; there are no aid stations. You are expected to be self-sufficient with tools, food, water, etc. However, we will provide a check-in / check-out list for those interested.

Lodging / Food

You are responsible for your own lodging and food arrangements. Ideally, on the ride, you will meet other people and make plans with them to go out for dinner locally.
